A food share collective is not charity. It is community care in motion.

At MontbelloWalks, a food share collective means neighbors supporting neighbors. Food is shared, not restricted. Dignity comes first, not paperwork. People take what they need and give what they can whether that is time, skills, resources, or simply showing up.

Our collective model is rooted in food justice. We recover surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and redistribute it through trusted community partners and direct food share events. This reduces food insecurity while also reducing environmental harm. Food waste is a climate issue, and access to nourishing food is a health issue. We address both at the same time.

A food share collective recognizes that hunger is not a personal failure. It is the result of systemic barriers like rising food costs, housing instability, inequitable access to transportation, and policies that leave families behind. By centering lived experience, cultural relevance, and mutual aid, we create spaces where people are not “served” but supported.

This is what collective care looks like. Shared responsibility. Shared abundance. A community that refuses to let anyone go without.

Food justice is collective work, and we are building it together.

Sit with this thought:
What would our communities look like if access to food was treated as a shared responsibility rather than a scarce resource to be earned?

Apply before February 10th! If you have an idea that will make our community better - check out this opportunity to "be a part of the change that is needed."

Last year I was a Coach for applicants that received grants, helping them to obtain the improvements and results desired. I hope to be a Coach again this year, so apply and we can work together to accomplish much needed community improvements.

Last Mondays Mobile Food Pantry - our volunteers always have a great time together serving community. They were especially happy to provide each family 3 bags of Frozen Whiting Filets….because we had plenty to give away. Families were shocked and grateful.

Hello District, 5 Denver Police Department Community Partners,

CONNECTION

BUIDING STRONG PARTNERSHIPS

AND SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY

Those are District 5s’ Command Staff’s top 3 goals for 2026.

With a month into the new year, Lt. Engelbert, Lt. Hines, LT. Armstrong, and Lt. Cody are making moves… acts of community service moves that is😉.

We hope you accept our invite to help us gather youth from your organizations for a day of cleanup.

The Neighborhood Clean-Up Day will focus on restoring pride and care in our community.

This clean-up is about more than picking up litter—it’s about creating a neighborhood that residents feel proud of, one that reflects care, respect, and shared responsibility.

When community members and organizations come together in visible ways, it strengthens connections and sends a powerful message that this is a place worth investing in and looking after.

We believe your organization’s involvement would make a meaningful impact and help inspire residents to take pride inside of Montbello and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Clean-Up Day Details:

DATE TBD- possible dates will be either February 21st or February 28th

TIME-11:00am to 3:00pm

LOCATION- groups will unite at the starting point at 4660 N Peoria St. (from there we will divide into groups and head to our areas of responsibility)

Please RSVP at your earliest convenience with the number of youth that will be participating in the cleanup.

Respectfully,
