Care & Share is looking for teachers and students to participate in service learning opportunities. We are looking for: groups of students in our warehouse to help sort food for hungry Coloradans; groups of students to research how to relieve hunger in our community in the future; and students to conduct food drives in their schools and communities. Teachers and students who are studying hunger issues in the Pikes Peak region can learn more about the operation and importance of food banking through direct volunteer experiences at Care & Share. Students may wish to interview Care & Share staff for research projects, and can tour our facility. We also offer opportunities for groups of 15-20 persons at a time to help repackage donations, which allows students to participate directly in getting food to the neediest hungry people in our community. Volunteers are vital to the efficiency and effectiveness of Care & Share. In approximately 2,500 volunteers helped address hunger and malnourishment. Art projects which communicate Care & Share's diverse mission to the community are welcome and some may even be used in our new facility. Teachers and students can be an incredible force in alleviating hunger in southern Colorado.

Mission Statement
At Care and Share Food Bank, our core purpose is to bridge the gap between hunger and abundance. Our mission is to provide food, partnering opportunities, and education to combat hunger and food insecurity in Southern Colorado communities. Our vision is an end to hunger in Southern Colorado.
Description
At Care and Share Food Bank, we believe that no one should go hungry. Every day, we provide food to our partner agencies across Southern Colorado for our neighbors in need because well-fed communities are better for us all. Care and Share exists to ensure that the one in seven Southern Coloradoans at risk of hunger have access to enough healthy and nutritious food to thrive. We know that children without adequate access to food cannot develop successfully, families cannot plan for their future, and seniors find it more difficult to remain independent.
As Southern Colorado's only food bank, Care and Share provides food to over 300 agencies; emergency shleters, food pantries and soup kitchens across our 31-county service area.CAUSE AREAS
