HOPE: Helping Our People Excel

IF I NEED FOOD, WHERE DO I GO?HOPE has two food pantry locations in the Denver-Metro area. For your convenience you are welcome to visit either location regardless of your address or county/city of residence. We ask that you make one visit per week to either location.Englewood Pantry Lakewood PantryEvery Monday 11am-3pm Every Wednesday 9am-1pm3940 South Broadway 11949 West Colfax AvenueEnglewood, CO 80113 Lakewood, CO 80215 DO I QUALIFY FOR HOPE PANTRY SERVICES?HOPE is a non-profit. This allows us to operate differently than other pantries in the area. You do not need to be "qualified" to utilize our services. We do not require proof of residency or income verification. The first time you visit either HOPE pantry location we will ask you to fill out an enrollment form. This basic information is simply used by HOPE to help us better serve our clients and for planning purposes. This information is not shared with other organizations.HOW DOES IT WORK?Individuals may visit our food pantry once a week. We provide bread, dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and other non-perishable food items for FREE. Clients shop for their own food - personally selecting items their households want and/or need.Simply show up at either pantry at the appropriate day. We ask that you check in at the front desk any time you visit. If this is your first time visiting, there will be a short enrollment form you will be asked to fill out. If you have visited us before, simply check in at the desk. Our staff and volunteers will guide you through the process based on your individual needs.We do have bags and boxes available, but encourage the use of reusable shopping bags if you have them. If you need any assistance during your visit, HOPE's staff and volunteers will be there to assist with collection and loading.DO YOU HAVE PET FOOD?We do have a very limited supply of wet dog and cat food. We do what we can to help our furry friends, however we should not be considered your main source of pet food.
