Last year, EFAA provided over $1 million worth of food to families, seniors and people with disabilities. EFAA’s food bank relies on thousands of individual supporters and receives food from about 100 food drives annually from schools, businesses, service organizations and the faith community.

Our Shopping List
EFAA takes pride in providing highly nutritious and diverse food items for our participants. Our food bank is always in need of high protein items and culturally diverse food, like masa flour and tamale husks.
Visit our shopping list here for our most up to date food needs.
Or shop online using EFAA’s Amazon Wishlist!
We accept packaged goods that are up to one-year past expiration. Perishables food items should be in good condition with little to no bruising or damage. We also accept toiletries and household products.
For information on retail/wholesale donations or donations in large quantities, please contact Walter O’Toole, Food Bank Manager, at 303.951.7667 or at Walter@efaa.org.
EFAA receives a portion of its food through TEFAP. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Other Ways to Help
We often get asked, what is an easy, but impactful way to help our neighbors in need? The answer? Host a food drive for EFAA! There are thousands of people in Boulder who simply don’t have enough food to eat each day. Organize a food drive with your school, faith community, workplace, or neighborhood. You can make a big difference in your community in just a few easy steps! Learn more here.
Volunteers are a vital part of EFAA’s work. Visit the volunteer page to learn more about how you can volunteer in EFAA’s food bank.
