Nourish Colorado is leading efforts to ensure access to nourishing foods for all children and their families in Colorado. Partner with us to integrate the food security system in Colorado by supporting healthy school meals for kids and increasing access to fresh produce for families.
“We loved the weekly produce; how fresh it was and were able to come up with healthier meal options. This year they introduced eggs and potatoes; my son loves eggs so that helped us out a lot. I think this program is amazing not a lot of us can afford organic produce like this and it was nice to be able to enjoy what came each week. I hope in the future they continue this for other families. This year is our last year in the W.I.C. program and we could not be more thankful for the farmers and all their hard work to provide this for us.”

“Mountain Roots Food Project is honored to be a partner organization with the Nourish WIC and Older Adult Produce Box Program. Through this initiative, we have been able to provide locally sourced, sustainably raised fruits and veggies all summer long to those who need it most here in the Gunnison Valley. Not only does this program give a boost to households with need, it also allows us to provide support to local producers who have also been negatively affected by the current pandemic. A true win-win!”

“As a farmer, it means the world to me to be able to send food directly to people who need it most. That is why I farm. I’m so grateful that we were able to partner and that it worked out so well for everyone.”

"Nourish Colorado has been an active member of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition since 2016. The team at Nourish has demonstrated a consistent ability to activate a large network of Coloradans around federal food and farm policy issues. They bring content, experience, and knowledge from their on-the-ground initiatives to inform our coalition's efforts to build a more equitable and resilient food system. They provide the kind of bridge we love to see from our members -- connecting community priorities to federal change."
- Senior Policy Specialist, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC)
We are changemakers who strengthen connections with and between farms, ranches, and communities so that all Coloradans have equitable access to fresh, nutritious foods.
We envision Colorado communities where fresh and local foods enrich the lives of all.

Nourish Colorado was established in 2008 as LiveWell Colorado to advance healthy eating and active living in Colorado. Over the past several years, LiveWell began focusing more intentionally on how Colorado could more efficiently advance health and prosperity through food-for individuals, families, farmers, or communities. In 2020, LiveWell changed its name to reflect this evolution.
We pursue systemic change by engaging in state and federal policy advocacy, managing innovative programs, and developing community partnerships and grassroots network to employ multiple-win strategies that rebalance the food system and create healthy food environments.
