If you are currently unhoused or in a temporary situation, please still come in! We provide immediate support—including ready-to-eat snack bags, fresh produce, and essential supplies—with no documentation required.

We welcome all neighbors regardless of housing status. Unhoused individuals do not need proof of residency to receive:

• Ready-to-eat snack & meal bags (available every distribution day)

• Fresh produce from our pantry and community gardens

• Warm clothing, outerwear, and hygiene supplies from our Clothing Closet

We proudly partner with Focus Reentry to provide on-site guidance, advocacy, and resources, particularly for our unhoused clients and individuals navigating life transitions.

Because their on-site hours can vary, please feel free to ask our team during your visit or call ahead to confirm when they will be at the pantry next.

Yes! The Nederland Food Pantry is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All monetary gifts are tax-deductible to the full extent permitted by law.

When you arrive at Building 1 (the Pantry)/Building 3 (the Clothing Closet), a friendly volunteer will welcome you and guide you through the client choice experience, allowing you to select the fresh produce, dairy, frozen foods, and pantry staples/Clothing and other essentials that best suit your household’s preferences and dietary needs.

If you are experiencing an immediate food emergency outside of our operating hours, please visit our Get Help / Food Emergency page or call 720-418-0892. We will work with you and local partner agencies, when needed, to help get essential support to you as quickly as possible.

Absolutely! We welcome community food drives, clothing drives, and corporate/group volunteer partnerships. Please reach out to us at volunteer@nederlandfoodpantry.org to coordinate your drive or event.

We work with local businesses, schools, and organizations to help us to provide a better service to our community. Various local establishments, such as Mountain Goat Tees, and Peak Wine & Spirits, host donation jars, with opportunities for others to join. Ace Hardware and the Market at Nederland contribute through annual round-up donations at their registers, while Busey Brews supports us with Trivia Night, and Very Nice hosts our volunteer appreciation night and other events like Taste of the Peaks. Mountain Goat Tees consistently finds innovative ways to support our pantry. 

These collaborations are the key to our success. If your business is interested in partnering with us, please reach out to discuss your ideas.
