Harvest for Hunger, located in Snowmass Village, is a charitable organization dedicated to reducing food waste in the Roaring Fork Valley and helping those in need. Founded by ski bums who live and work in the Valley, we realized there was a disconnect between the fortunate and the less fortunate. Many families struggle with wage disparity and a high cost of living.
It is our goal to feed the families in need with a two prong approach. First, to build partnerships with food retailers and grocery stores of the Roaring Fork Valley and rescue unused food, and with our partnerships in the area, distribute to those in need. Second, with the creation of the Snowmass Harvest for Hunger Food Pantry, provide easy access to food for the residents and employees of the Roaring Fork Valley.
With the dedication of our volunteers, staff members, and partners, we strive to improve the lives of everyone who needs help within the community.

It is our goal to end hunger for the residents and employees of the Roaring Fork Valley through food distribution from our easy access Food Pantries and Food Rescue.
Harvest for Hunger was created by ski bums during COVID to address food insecurity in the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond. We began with Food Rescue where we average 3,000lbs a week and have expanded to open our first Food Pantry where we average 600 individuals and families per week.
