FEED A FAMILY

Your Donation Puts Food on the Table

When you donate to feed a family, you’re not giving to an idea —
you’re giving to real people who need food right now.

Across the Denver metro area, families are facing impossible choices:

  • Rent or groceries
  • Medicine or meals
  • Gas or food

Your donation to Integrated Family Community Services (Formerly Interfaith Community Services) is turned directly into meals for families in crisis.

FACES OF IFCS

It means a household gets:

  • Nutritious groceries
  • Enough food for multiple meals
  • Relief from the stress of hunger

For parents, it means being able to provide. For children, it means full bellies and better focus at school. For seniors, it means dignity and health.

This is what your gift creates.

Every donation makes a difference:

  • $25 feeds a family for a day.
  • $50 adds fresh items to an IFCS Market shopper’s cart–such as apples, oranges, bananas and fresh veggies.
  • $65 provides a collection of fresh produce and shelf-stable food items.
  • $100 contributes 1 grocery basket of food to the market shelves.
  • $250 supplies a cart of groceries for a family.

Your generosity is turned into real food that families can use immediately. This food alleviates hunger and stress, contributing to better health outcomes for families and communities.

Food insecurity is rising in the greater Denver metro area due to:

  • High housing costs
  • Inflation
  • Medical emergencies
  • Job instability

IFCS provides both emergency food and family support so households can recover — not just survive.

Your donation keeps families from falling deeper into crisis.

Be the Reason a Family Eats Tonight

You don’t have to change the whole world — you just have to change someone’s world.
