Food (Grocery Sacks)
If you are in need of food assistance we are here to help. We provide food sacks for the homeless, small families, large families and beyond.
As an emergency crisis center serving Pueblo County, Pueblo Cooperative Care Center (PCCC) remains committed in providing resources to individuals and families in need. As a result of the COVID-19 Coronavirus, the following protocols are in effect until further notice:
1. OUR HOURS OF OPERATION HAVE CHANGED. Emergency food distributions are currently available Monday’s through Friday’s from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. ONLY. Operating hours are subject to change without advanced notice.
2. Only food services are being offered to individuals and families, all other services have been suspended except by emergency referral.
3. We are working with limited human resources and our normal processes have been modified.
4. Recertification requirements for existing clients have been rescinded for 60 days.
5. We are only accepting food or monetary donations at this time.
6. We are not accepting clothing or other donations until it is determined to be safe and appropriate.
7. New clients must provide personal identification and proof of residency in Pueblo County to receive services.
8. No individual residing in Pueblo County will be refused services as long as resources remain available.
Pueblo Cooperative Care Center is confident in Care and Share of Southern Colorado and other suppliers ability to provide our organization with food. However, there are no guarantees that we will receive food to distribute and we are only able to distribute what we receive. Subsequently our hours of operation may change without advanced notice.
We have ceased utilizing our 130+ individual volunteers to protect them from COVID-19 Coronavirus exposure. We are requesting that the public understand these decisions, remain patient as we undergo changes and respect our policies and procedures. Monetary donations can be made online, by check (U.S. Mail) or over the telephone. Please visit https://www.cooperativecare.org/donations for additional information.
We remain focused on the health, safety and welfare of our clients, volunteers, employees and residents of Pueblo County.
