In 2012, Bob Bell founded Food for Thought Denver after discovering a heartbreaking reality: many of Denver’s schoolchildren were going hungry, particularly on weekends when they couldn’t rely on school meals. Fueled by compassion and determination, Bell, along with volunteers from the Arvada Rotary Club, raised enough donations to begin supplying weekend food bags, known as PowerSacks, to two Denver public schools. Today, Food for Thought Denver has grown into a vital lifeline for the community, serving 75 schools across the Denver area—all while remaining a 100% volunteer-driven organization. Despite many students qualifying for free and reduced breakfast and lunch during the week, weekends often leave them without enough food. Our mission is clear: to close this weekend hunger gap and ensure that no child in our community goes hungry.

- Store any personal items in the lockers. Locks are not provided.

Volunteer Roles:
Volunteers may serve in a few different ways. These are active volunteer roles - you will be moving boxes, bending into bins, lifting bags and standing for the duration of their volunteer shift. We do make accommodations as needed.

Adult volunteers may work directly with the families we serve. These volunteers will help shoppers find the school clothes they need for their children and check them out when done shopping. This is a customer service position that requires a great deal of empathy, kindness and patience with our shoppers who often are in challenging circumstances and sometimes don't speak English.

Both adult and teen volunteers process incoming clothing and shoe donations by sorting, sizing, and hanging the items needed to restock the store.
- This position requires great attention to detail to make sure we are outfitting the students we serve with high quality clothing. 
- This role is essential to keeping the store fully stocked which gives our shoppers the most variety to meet their needs. 

On any given day, volunteers may also:
- Greet clothing donors and assist unloading donations.
- Keep the store organized and tidy by straightening clothing racks, sorting hangers or taking out the recycling.
- "Rainbow" the racks.
- Help with other needs or special projects. 

👕 What to wear:
We suggest you wear casual clothes suitable for a work environment. 
- Comfortable shoes are a good idea since volunteers will be on their feet the entire shift.
- Dressing in layers is helpful since the temperature varies widely depending on which part of the store you are in. 
- This is an active volunteer role - you will be moving, bending, lifting - so be comfortable.

At Clothes To Kids of Denver, we give free school clothes to students in-need or in-crisis. Our boutique stocks a wide selection of high quality, gently used clothing donated by the community. Students get to shop in a welcoming space where they can select the seasonal and stylish wardrobe pieces that meet their needs. This shopping experience is what sets CTKD apart.  

Help check-in and distribute food to members of the community, volunteers may be asked to help with set-up and take-down. Expect to be on your feet for the duration of the shift as well as some lifting, bending, etc.
