FEEDING FAMILIES IN THE PIKES PEAK REGION

Your non-perishable donations provide food bags weekly to over 200 local families from our partner schools. We also provide 50 food bags per month to two low-income senior facilities and 15 food bags to a partner agency helping single mothers get back on their feet.

ACTS Pantry provides non-perishable food and toiletry donations each week to serve the less fortunate in our city. To help support the pantry, please drop donations in the Feeding Families collection bins at your campus.

ACTS Snacks provides nutritious snacks for children who come to school hungry or for snack time in the classroom. Woodmen is partnering with schools throughout El Paso County, providing 1,200 snacks each month. Snacks can be dropped in your campus Feeding Families bin to support this ministry.

For many children, facing the weekend away from school, where meals are provided, can be unsettling. Woodmen has partnered with neighborhood schools to provide ACTS Packs full of food to assist families while their children are off school for weekends or holidays. Each week, a team fills backpacks with food and delivers them to the schools, where children can pick them up and take them home for the weekend. Food donations can be dropped in any food collection bin to support this ministry.
