Background Statement
Harvest of Hope Pantry unites the long-standing food programs of two Boulder Catholic parishes, St. Thomas Aquinas and Sacred Heart of Jesus. St. Thomas "St Tom's" began in 1970, serving folks in need and those experiencing homelessness, while Sacred Heart launched its food box program in 1983.
Both programs expanded over the years, and in 2012, the programs merged under the leadership of Michael Freece, Harvest of Hope Pantry's first Board Chair.
Today, Harvest of Hope Pantry serves an average of 150 shoppers each day. We are providing more food than ever, distributing over 500,000 pounds of food as of October 2024. Our mobile pantry project continues to visit more sites (four and counting), serving older adults and those facing transportation barriers.
Harvest of Hope Pantry is also committed to reducing retail food waste. Our food rescue initiatives ensure that more food from our local grocery stores and restaurants and gets it into the hands, and bellies, of those who need it most!
