Grantees

UpRoot Colorado (UpRoot) measurably reduces surplus protective foods in Colorado, supports the economic stability of farmers and increases the nutritional security of our state’s residents.

The Food Pantry purchases food from the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia and two local grocers. We also receive donated food from individuals and, on occasion, from other charitable organizations. The food is stored in our warehouse and boxed for clients based on family size and composition. The boxes are given to families who qualify by being residents of White County and meeting USDA poverty thresholds.
