Food Pantry

The Gilpin County Food Pantry is located at 101 Norton Drive, Black Hawk CO 80422 and is available to all Gilpin County residents regardless of income. Each household can shop once per week.  The pantry is open Thursday from 1:30-3:45pm.  Any questions can be answered by Corinne at 720-432-6120 or at ckeller@gilpincounty.org.  Fresh produce is sometimes available thanks to dedicated volunteer gardeners with the Community Gardens.  Donations of non-expired, non-perishable food can be dropped off 24/7 between the two front doors, and non-expired perishable food can be dropped off on Thursdays from 12-4pm.

Summer Lunch Box (SLB)

The SLB Program provides food for lunches to children and youth  and encourages kids to make their own meals and to think about their nutrition.  Every two weeks, kids (and parents) get to choose from various kid-friendly lunch items for two weeks of meals.  The program runs June-August. Be sure to look for information on Facebook or www.gilpincounty.org.

Holiday Wish List

Each October, struggling families can submit wish lists for their children (0-18 yrs.). Children may ask for clothes, books, and toys. People in the community select an anonymous wish list to shop for new items.  If you are interested in fulfilling a child’s wish this upcoming holiday season or submitting a list for your child, please contact us.
