Deep Roots in the Grand Valley
The Community Food Bank began operations in 1978 in the basement of a Grand Junction Presbyterian Church. Over the course of 40+ years, the locations and partnerships have changed, expanded and evolved, but the core mission has remained the same throughout the years: to provide emergency food to any and all hungry Mesa County individuals and families, without exclusion, while maintaining or enhancing client dignity.
