This week, many of you will be donning aprons, baking favorite family recipes, and gathering around a full table. But before you sign off for the holidays, make sure your neighbors can set their table too. We need 20 people to donate to The GrowHaus TODAY to help us distribute 15,000 pounds of food in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. For just $50, you can send a neighbor home with fresh ingredients like squash, zucchini, carrots, and more. Donate at https://bit.ly/TGHCGD2025.

The GrowHaus’ no-cost food access program provides neighbors with reliable, fresh, and culturally meaningful ingredients. Our community-led team distributes household staples like potatoes, tomatoes, and bananas, as well as less common items, like guavas!
A tropical fruit typical in Latin American cuisine, guavas are a familiar treat for some neighbors, while others get to discover a new flavor. With program participants speaking seven different languages, The GrowHaus prioritizes ingredients that reflect our neighbors’ diverse cultures so they can enjoy their favorite meals, continue traditions, and feel seen and celebrated!

Earlier this month, with the help of our most passionate supporters, we activated our Temporary Emergency Food Assistance program and distributed an additional 10,000 pounds of fresh food to over 1,000 neighbors impacted by the government shutdown.

Looking ahead, we know that the rising cost of living and new SNAP eligibility requirements are leaving more community members searching for food from a limited and strained charitable food system. We are continuing to support neighbors dealing with the ripple effects of losing food benefits, and those who have been experiencing food insecurity long before the shutdown, through food access and wellness education initiatives. Join this critical work by making The GrowHaus your Colorado Gives Day partner and taking action today at bit.ly/TGHCGD2025. The first 200 gifts will be DOUBLED by our most committed supporters!

Every week, The GrowHaus’ Promotoras develop an approachable recipe to share with the participants of our no-cost food access program. By highlighting produce that participants will receive from The GrowHaus, these recipes aim to introduce new ways to use ingredients and inspire community members to try unfamiliar items.
Once a nutritious recipe has been researched and developed, our Promotoras offer samples at Zumba classes or during pickup hours of the food access program. Beyond offering a chance to taste a new dish, these sample sessions create an opportunity for Promotoras to spark conversation, collect feedback, and deepen community connections.

On , we’re highlighting the shared learning, community connection, and delicious food created in our diabetes prevention classes!
The GrowHaus’ Community Wellness team is leading a holiday edition of our diabetes nutrition workshop series, which explores ways to care for ourselves and our loved ones this season through mindful eating, hydration, movement, and setting SMART goals.
Participants try hands-on recipes like diabetes-friendly apple pie tarts, which swap added sugars for the natural sweetness of seasonal fruit, and share their own tips for navigating holiday eating with care.

We are honored to continue our partnership with Paralel Technologies! Over the past two years, Paralel has been a steadfast partner to The GrowHaus, showing up to volunteer days, attending events, and providing critical funds to support our food access, wellness, and leadership programs. 

Today, we welcomed the Paralel team into our humble warehouse. Working with the Paralel team feels like working with our neighbors. Their team jumped into the packing line and packaged over 7,000 pounds of fresh produce that will be distributed to 14 different library branches across the City of Denver. Together, we prepared healthy recipes that we shared with community members as they came to pick up their groceries, and we packed 200 soup and breakfast kits to distribute during our temporary emergency food assistance program this week.  

We’re honored to partner with the Paralel team and grateful for their commitment to community-led food justice. Of course, we ended the morning of hard work with homemade tamales and cervezas from a local brewery. Amidst a time of great injustice, today was a joyful day.

We can’t wait to have you join us again, Paralel!
