Core offering

Community Table is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit food bank and emergency assistance organization that distributes nearly 1.5 million pounds of food annually through a Client Choice Food Pantry, mobile pantry, home delivery, and federal/senior food programs. Beyond food, it provides emergency financial assistance for rent and utilities, public benefits application help, GED preparation, Money Matters financial literacy classes, cooking and nutrition education, free laundry and shower services, an on-site health and dental clinic, a child waiting area, and Neighbor Connect DMV services — all free to eligible community members in the northern metro Denver area.

Product overview

Community Table operates as a comprehensive food bank and emergency assistance organization offering a unified portfolio of food, financial, educational, and support services. The core offerings center on the Client Choice Food Pantry, emergency food programs (including TEFAP and food bags for unhoused individuals), and the Everyday Eats senior food box program. Beyond food distribution, the organization provides a suite of assistance programs including financial assistance for rent/utilities, public benefits application help, GED preparation, Money Matters financial literacy classes, and cooking/nutrition programs. Support services include free laundry, on-site health and dental clinics, DMV services, a child waiting area, and homelessness support. The portfolio functions as an integrated ecosystem where food assistance serves as the entry point, with additional programs designed to help families achieve self-sufficiency.
