This is our third year in service to the Jeffco Public Schools and Metro West Housing Authority. We will begin with 23 sites and 600 students and their families receiving weekly foodshares. Food shares means as a community with our non profit and the dozen of our Volunteer Leaders and 1000’s of volunteers and donors – we are so happy to share what we have with others.
The greatest number of children we serve have parents who do not earn Living Wage as a family and therefore work but do not make enough to cover household expenses and food. We need your help. Go to www.JeffcoEats.org/ GetInvolved. We are asking for regularly monthly donors to provide $28 a month per child. You can donate now and help us be ready finically to begin receiving foods, packing foods and delivering foods weekly. https://jeffcoeats.org/donate/
Why support Jeffco Eats ? Because we are the largest weekend food non profit serving Lakewood, which has 9600 children at their 41 schools on Free and Reduced Lunch. We serve 600 but we could grow to 5000.
Our new home at 1395 Benton Street is very compact and to make our system work we will be using 20 ft storage containers. We are frugal with how we operate .
