Celebrate 40 Years with 40 Acts of Kindness
This year marks Community Food Share’s 40th anniversary — that’s four decades of working together to end hunger in Boulder and Broomfield Counties. Celebrate our anniversary with us through our 40 Acts Forward Community Challenge! We’re encouraging everyone to “pay it forward” by doing 40 acts of kindness in 2021.
We’ve provided interactive ways for you, your family, friends, businesses, faith-based groups, and educational institutions to engage with our community partners and with us. There’s something for every age and every ability — all to build a stronger, happier community.
