What Re:Vision does

Re:Vision is a Denver, Colorado-based nonprofit founded in 2007 that builds an integrated community food system in the Westwood and Southwest Denver neighborhoods. Its core programs span urban agriculture across approximately three urban farms (including the hydroponic "Caja Verde" converted shipping container program) and a network of 150-200 family and champion backyard gardens; weekly free distribution through the No-Cost Grocery walk-in pantry; subscription-style CSA food boxes prescribed through Denver Health for food-insecure patients; youth education pipelines under the Semillas and Xulinaria programs for ages 5-18; and the La Cocina shared commercial kitchen used to incubate Latino food entrepreneurs. Re:Vision employs a resident-led promotora (community health worker) model in which local Latina leaders are hired into the organization and developed into full-time programmatic and managerial staff — six were promoted into full-time leadership in 2023 alongside headcount growth to 17 staff.

The business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than transactional. Approximately 2,000 low-income families per year receive services at no cost; the company monetizes its real estate footprint through subsidized rental income from seven Latino-owned small businesses and three nonprofits on the Morrison Road campus and through below-market La Cocina kitchen rentals. Material disclosed funding sources include congressional appropriations ($800K+ in 2023), the Healthy Food for Denver Kids program ($700K+ in 2023), the Colorado Health Foundation (multi-tranche, with the largest single award at $1M for the Healthy Places initiative, plus $607K and $300K+ in subsequent awards), the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ($675K for promotora patient navigator training), the Denver Office of Economic Development ($1.3M in 2014), and USDA Community Food Project grants. In 2022 Re:Vision placed its land into a land trust with the Urban Land Conservancy while retaining ownership of buildings, structurally securing long-term affordability.

Customers and beneficiaries are concentrated geographically in ZIP codes 80219, 80223, and 80204, where residents survive on less than $35,000/year on average and where the Westwood neighborhood is 39% under age 18. Direct-program beneficiaries (no-cost grocery recipients, family garden participants, promotora-trained community members, Denver Health CSA patients, La Cocina food entrepreneurs, and Semillas youth cohorts) total several thousand individuals annually, with cumulative gardens exceeding 2,000 since inception. Go-to-market is community-led through trusted promotora relationships, cultural events (FRIENDSGIVING, Buen Provecho, Día de los Muertos, Saigon Azteca Night Market, Festival del Mole), earned media, and a volunteer pipeline rather than conventional sales channels.
