The organization says it has a waiting list of 17 other Adams County schools that have requested help feeding kids and families.
Volunteers from left to right Matthew Herron, Chuck Carillo, Joe Secary and food distribution coordinator Laura McFadden, right, help unpack and organize boxes to make food bags for Adams County schools kids and their families at the Food for Hope food pantry in Thornton, Colorado on Oct. 7, 2024. Many adults can identify with the challenges of trying to focus on work tasks when they haven’t had breakfast or skipped lunch.“They can enter a classroom with everything they need.
“We believe that each child should have an equal opportunity to succeed and grow in a healthy way regardless of their circumstances,” said Emily Stromquist, Food For Hope’s executive director since its founding. “As our program has grown, we have found ways to do that more creatively and more comprehensively.”
But it was only a temporary setback. When the pantry reopened in 2021, it was an instant success and Food for Hope found that other schools also wanted to offer spaces to serve their families. The nonprofit now has nine pantries in schools or other buildings run by its client districts.
