FREE Grocery Store
The FREE Grocery Store
Hello Shoppers!
Feeding Denver's Hungry will be transitioning our FREE store sign up website! As of March 1, 2023, we will be using Link2Feed which is a part of Food Bank of the Rockies. With this new FREE grocery store sign up form, all your information will only need to be entered once! After which, you will receive a code which will allow you to sign up for your future appointments. You will also receive a barcode card that will enable easier shopping at other Food Bank of the Rockies events.
Here are some simple steps that will get you started with this new program:
1. Many of you have already registered with the Food Bank of the Rockies. If you have a Food Bank of the Rockies barcode card or other Food Bank ID, it has your Link2Feed ID number already written on the card. You can type this code in to check if you are registered and to create a login to edit your information and sign up for appointments.
2. Please help us out and register yourself during the month of February so you will be ready to shop with us when we reopen in March.
3. You must sign up for Link2Feed to schedule an appointment to shop at Feeding Denver's Hungry FREE grocery store. We are no longer using the previous appointment sign up program as of January 1, 2023.
4. You will be able to use your Link2Feed ID code to shop at multiple Food Bank of the Rockies sites, depending on your needs.
5. You must notify Jim Scharper by text or email to cancel or any appointments. If you fail to notify Jim, your appointment will be classified as a "no show" appointment and you will be unable to shop at the Feeding Denver's Hungry FREE grocery store for the following two months. If you must cancel your appointment, please notify Jim as soon as possible. His contact information in below.
6. If you have any issues registering with Link2Feed, please contact Jim Scharper, his contact information is below.
Thank you all for your understanding. Jim Scharper

Here is what your household can expect of Feeding Denver's Hungry and also what we expect of our shoppers when they are are shopping at the FREE Grocery Store.
Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee a supply of all of your needs. We do what we are able to supplement.
The Shopping Experience
On shopping day, the household will go to the FREE Grocery Store warehouse that is located at 14100 E 35th Pl, Ste 105, Aurora CO 80011.
When the household arrives and check-in, they will be paired with a Volunteer. This Volunteer will then guide them through the FREE Grocery Store. Each household is given 15-minutes (max) to shop.
If you have any questions, just ask your Volunteer.
Personal Information
The information that is asked for is required by certain grants that we have qualified for. All information on the form must be correct, especially your contact information.
Appointments
The FREE Grocery Store is available by appointment only and not able to accept visitors without an appointment.
The FREE Grocery Store is allowing 1 appointment per household per month.
All of the household information on the reservation must be correct and accurate. We may need to contact the household at some point.
One (1) Appointment per Household
Due to the high demand of the FREE Grocery Store, effective with the September 2022 registration and going forward, a household will only be allowed one (1) shopping day per month. If a household signs up for more than one day, Feeding Denver's Hungry will approve the first day selected and then cancel the remaining days of the month.
