Food & HBA Pantry

Discreet, No-Barrier Access to Essentials

The PfCA's Food & Necessity Pantry is a core component of our commitment to community resilience and the well-being of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in rural Colorado. We understand that accessing basic needs should never be a barrier to living authentically. Our Pantry is designed to be confidential, free, and available without paperwork, questions, or judgment.

What We Offer

The Pantry ensures you have access to items that support your health and dignity: Non-perishable groceries, easy-to-prepare meals, snacks, and seasonal items. HBA (Health & Beauty Aids): Soap, shampoo, deodorant, shaving supplies, and general hygiene products. Period Hygiene: Tampons, pads, menstrual cups, and other essential period products. Safer Sex Supplies: Condoms, lube, and dental dams.

Backpacks

Our Food Pantry began with simple backpacks, which we still provide. Youth pack their own backpacks and include enough food for the weekend. We also have youth backpacks that are used to make their own lunches for the week.

Backpacks can include:

  • Cereal, Oatmeal, Granola Bars, Lara Bars,

  • Easy to prepare meals that don’t require can openers, mac and cheese, soups, etc.

  • Bread, peanut butter, jelly, pasta and sauces, ramen
