Last year, EFAA provided over $1.7 million worth of food to our participants and their families. EFAA’s food bank relies on generosity of our community. Last year, businesses, nonprofit organizations, the faith community, labor unions, and schools donated nearly 175,000 pounds to our food bank.

EFAA takes pride in providing highly nutritious and culturally appropriate foods for our participants. We also distribute personal care items and infant/childcare items, like diapers and formula.

We also rely on generous donations of goods to help our neighbors meet their basic needs.
Shop online using our Walmart registry and Target registry.
We accept shelf-stable foods up to one year past the expiration date. Food needs to be in unopened packaging with ingredients labeling. Perishable foods should be donated before the expiration date and in good condition. We also accept toiletries and personal care items. Unfortunately, we cannot accept clothing, furniture, or household items and appliances.
For information on retail/wholesale donations, or donations in large quantities, please contact Food Bank Staff at 303.951.7667 or at foodbank@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.
