Jeffco Action Center The Action Center

Grocery - we had two distinct grocery programs in fy24. People had the choice of making an appointment for the self-select grocery, where they selected items based on family size and availability - or they could opt for a pre-packed "walk up" bag. This was "as is- and available in "one size" regardless of household size. the food distributed was sourced from grocery store food rescue, the food bank of the rockies, purchased with revenue from grants, donations from businesses, individuals and other organizations.

Participant services - the Action Center provides financial support for rent assistance; utility assistance and a pandemic inspired bill pay program. Additional services include self-directed family goal setting and case management, free clothing, bus tickets, gas cards, vouchers for ids/birth certificates/driver license, mailing address and connections to a myriad of other resources. Personal hygiene items and diapers were also distributed. Our clothing bank provides monthly access to free clothing items and soft household goods (bedding and towels). Revenue sources for these services include grants, government contracts, and donations from businesses, individuals, churches, and other organizations.
