This is the "WHY", we work so hard.

Springs United Food Bank is run with excellence while feeding many families. The food source is excellent and wonderful quality. Those helping the people get their food are happy, joyful and full of love for others. It is a true blessing. 👍~ Penny Funkhouser

Springs Food Bank has experienced tremendous growth since its launch in 2021, establishing itself as a trusted source of assistance in Colorado Springs. The staff are friendly, professional, and treat every client with dignity and care. If you're facing tough times, this is a great place to receive real support. Highly recommended. ~ Mr. LBC (Navy Military Veteran) - Google Maps Review

I personally know Gloria who received the vision to begin the food bank.  She has worked hard and sacrificed much to create a team and community of genuine hearts who have one purpose to serve others; not only with food, but meeting emotional and spiritual needs as well! I have great honor and respect for her!  ~ Gail, Bristol Mountain Homes, Estes Park CO

Awesome food bank. Gloria makes sure every family is able to leave with a large amount of food and drinks with plenty of variety. Ranging from produce to pastries. I volunteered here for months and saw the behind the scenes of how Gloria runs her building. She truly considers and operates in what is best for each and every family that comes through her doors. She trains the volunteers well so that everything runs quickly, smoothly, and all done with love. You'll never find another pantry with the same heart as this one. ~ Roxana Hernandez

One of the best. The only thing I can see for improvement is the organization of the line, and coming in, for your appointment. Maybe check everyone in while they are outside, already, instead of the back and forth. I don't remember exactly how other food banks did it, but it was different lol.  ~ T.

We didn't want to go to a food pantry because we didn't want to be judged. But SPRINGS Food Bank, welcomed our family with no judgment.
