We collect fresh and shelf-stable food for food insecure guests. LIFT-UP relies on food and monetary donations to supply our pantries. Food donations are distributed between our 5 pantries and LIFT-UP uses monetary donations to purchase food and other items from Food Bank of The Rockies.

ANYONE IN NEED CAN HAVE A GOOD MEAL

The Extended Table (soup kitchen) has been a vital part of LIFT-UP’s programs for the past 23 years. After its launch in 1995 by members of The Glenwood Mennonite Church, with support from other area churches, The Extended Table was brought under the umbrella of LIFT-UP right from the beginning to make it a community service that would not be associated with any church or individual, and to provide a channel for people to donate to the outreach.

LIFT-UP’s Extended Table’s main aim is to feed the people who can’t afford to buy food. We are dedicated to preventing hunger for destitute people in our valley. Extended Table is run entirely by LIFT-UP’s volunteers and serves more than 6,000 people a year. This vital community program is funded through donations from individuals, businesses, local churches, and other non-profit organizations.
