Visit IFCS to Receive No-Cost Groceries

The Market at IFCS is a year-round free grocery store allowing people earning low-incomes or no incomes to shop for their basic needs. When open, you may walk in to receive assistance during our distribution hours. We ask that you come prepared with the names and birthdates for everyone in your household. They do not have to be present, but we will need their information.

We are currently operating as curbside pickup only. This means grocery boxes will be pre-prepared. When you arrive, you will pull into a parking space and fill out a short intake form. You will then carry groceries from our distribution window to your vehicle. You should expect to be at the market 10-15 minutes. You can expect fresh produce, frozen meat, milk, and other common grocery items.

Request Bill Payment Assistance

We provide, through our partnership with Energy Outreach Colorado, bill payment assistance to households who are behind on their energy bills and are at risk of not having home energy.

  • At this time, IFCS is only accepting applications from individuals in the service area with disconnection notices.
  • All other interested readers are advised to complete a LEAP application.

You will work directly with a resource navigator who will guide you through the application process, determine eligibility, and authorize bill payments. Payments are made directly to a local utility or fuel company. To begin, please complete a Request for Financial Assistance form and an IFCS staff member will contact you within 48 business hours. Due to the overwhelming number of requests for assistance, we appreciate your patience in waiting for a response from our team.
