Food Distribution
Every Sunday, we serve freshly prepared, comfort-style, free meals to unhoused and food-insecure individuals throughout Colorado Springs. Our rotating menu features approachable, flavorful dishes made with care.
We believe that everyone deserves to enjoy a meal that’s both satisfying and made with dignity. To support our community’s health and safety, we clearly label each meal with allergen information so individuals can make informed choices about what they eat.
Menu/Food Features
We offer a rotating menu to make sure there's a meal for everyone. Our menu highlights a mix of Southern favorites, Tex-Mex staples, and American Regional comfort foods. Some popular dishes include muffulettas, biscuits and gravy, and gumbo.
Survival Items
To support individuals living outdoors, we provide free survival items that meet basic needs and offer comfort in extreme conditions. Our distributions include first aid kits, clothing, socks, hygiene kits, and pet care items. We also distribute seasonal gear like hand warmers, boots, hats, gloves, and jackets depending on the time of year.
Every item is chosen with care, focusing on durability, warmth, and dignity. These supplies help unhoused individuals in Colorado Springs stay safe, clean, and protected while navigating daily life without permanent shelter.
New and Donated Clothing
In addition to food and survival items, we provide new and gently used clothing to anyone who needs it. Our donations include everyday basics like shirts, pants, jackets, socks, and shoes for teens and adults of all sizes. We receive clothing from both community donors and local partners, and we sort through everything to make sure it’s clean and in good condition.
If you have new or gently used clothing to give, we’re always accepting donations every piece helps someone feel more comfortable, confident, and cared for.
