GCFP In the News

Dear Friend of the Pantry,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I update the Community on the status of the new Pantry. As of September 25, GCFP has been operating out of our new home at 114 South 14th Street, Gunnison! Thank you to all the volunteers and businesses that helped make the move happen. Special thanks to Western Lumber, Alpine Moving, Camp4Coffee, Mochas Coffee House and Bakery, and Mario’s Pizza!

The Pantry needs the help of the Gunnison Valley to keep Pantry shelves stocked; with increased facility space and more guests coming to Shop the Pantry, your support is needed more than ever. Most needed items are staples such as peanut butter, jelly, soups, grains, frozen meat, frozen vegetables/fruit, and healthy cereals. Please consider what items you or your family would enjoy and donate those!

Mountaineer Marketplace Special Day of Giving

At Western Colorado University, food insecurity is a challenge—over half of surveyed students reported low to very low food security. In 2023, Gunnison Country Food Pantry (GCFP) in partnership with Western Colorado University planted the Mountaineer Marketplace, an on-campus food pantry, for staff and students in need of food assistance. But they can’t do it alone. With your help, we can make sure every student has access to the nourishment they need to thrive.
