How do I actually get food from Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado?
Care and Share is a regional food bank and does not give out food at its Colorado Springs address. It lists three routes on careandshare.org/findfood/: (1) partner food pantries and programmes near you - permanent sites, some with walk-up or drive-up service, best if you want steady access plus other services; (2) Mobile Markets and Mobile Food Pantries - pop-up walk-up or drive-up distributions, listed on a calendar on that page that shows one month at a time (use the arrows to change month); (3) SNAP - anyone can apply or recertify by calling the SNAP hotline on 719-666-3849 or using the SNAP contact form at careandshare.org/programs/snap/snap-contact-form/, which takes about 15-20 minutes depending on household size.
