Food pantries in Mesa County Colorado.
Mesa County and Grand Junction food pantries help low income families. Volunteers and staff that work at the often charity run centers help people of all backgrounds, ranging from senior citizens to children, in an effort to prevent hunger.
Free, emergency boxes of food will often be combined with other support. There may be referrals to government programs including CSFP or food stamps. Many of the pantries also operate clothing closets or soup kitchens. Those locations will offer free Thanksgiving or Christmas meals, clothes, Christmas toys or food baskets, and more.
While less common, a few Mesa County food pantries may have financial aid. This would only be for a crisis, and the funds are combined with groceries and a case management process.
