The mission of FoodWorks Colorado is to assist individuals in need in reaching a given level of self-sufficiency and preventing homelessness through our vocational training and life skills development program and free food distribution. We do this, simply, to show God's love, grace and compassion to those we serve and to transcend culture, ethnicity, race, religion, status and any other divide established by men.Developing marketable job skills and teaching fundamental life skills among homeless and low-income individuals in transitional programs is the first step in enabling them to secure a meaningful job that provides a living wage and starts them on the path of self-sufficiency. Free food distribution helps individuals save their money at the grocery store and pay other obligations, such as rent, utilities and medications.
