Meal Kits

Hope Communities was founded in 1980 by a group of citizens concerned about the lack of decent, affordable housing in Denver. Beginning in the historic Five Points neighborhood, Hope Communities operated a single building of rental units that Denver families and individuals could afford; almost thiry years later, the organization's geographic focus has expanded to include the entire Metro Denver area, at a time where affordable housing has only become more critical.

In addition to rental housing, Hope Communities also offers an array of programs and services designed to empower residents and build community. These include adult education, youth education, health and wellness programs, case management, and events to engage the entire community.

Position Information

Hope Communities, a nonprofit providing support and affordable housing to intersectional communities across the Denver area, often distributes meal kits to residents in need. We need volunteers throughout the year to put together ingredients for a full meal for individuals, seniors, and families. All ingredients should be shelf-stable, and ideally would come with a $10 Walmart or King Soopers gift card to buy fresh ingredients, but this is not required. Meals should include diverse sources of nutrition (grains, protein, and produce).

Examples

• Peanut butter and jelly + bread or crackers
• Canned soup, tuna, or chicken
• Pasta and sauce
• Ramen with seasoning and eggs (include instructions)
• Rice, beans, and canned vegetables
• Instant oatmeal or cereal
• Canned fruit

You can make as many meal kits as you'd like, and they will be distributed as the need arises. Please email [email protected] with questions or to coordinate drop off.
