Dedicated to feeding hungry Colorado kids when school is out and children don’t have access to free or reduced-fee lunches in their schools. 

Lunchbox Express

Update:

The JFS Lunchbox Express program will no longer be active beginning in summer 2024.

If you urgently need food, call the Hunger Free Colorado hotline at 855.855.4626 for food resources near you. 

When schools let out for summer, families who rely heavily on school-based free and reduced-price lunch programs can turn to the Lunchbox Express program to receive nutritionally balanced lunches. The summer program helps fill the gap in the Denver metro area using a mobile food delivery system that distributes free lunch to kids Mondays through Fridays, including JFS’s Weinberg Food Pantry. There is no proof of income required, and all children 18 and under qualify for free meals (one meal per day, per child), no matter where they live or go to school.
