At DFR, community is the heart of everything we do. We strive to ensure our programs honor the dignity of every individual we serve. Instead of relying on a single hub to distribute recovered food, our decentralized No Cost Grocery Program (NCGP) model allows us to meet people where they are—in their own communities, where they feel safe and comfortable. We partner with 21 nonprofits, schools, health centers, and resident councils so that people can easily access food in familiar, trusted community spaces. Often, community members themselves help set up and distribute the food, meaning neighbors are receiving food from people they know and trust—not from outsiders who may not fully understand their unique needs and preferences. This model prioritizes agency, which is the first step toward achieving true food sovereignty. 💚 Help us sustain this work by donating to Denver Food Rescue this Colorado Gives Day at https://lnkd.in/grnBY_2F. #CommunityFirst #FoodRecovery #NutritionSecurity #NoCostGroceries #DenverFoodRescue #FoodJustice #FoodAccessForAll
