Central Longmont sponsors a yearly food drive for The Round Pantry @ Westview.  The food drive is held during the month of February.  The Round Pantry @ Westview, a food bank for anyone needing food assistance, is open 2-6 pm the 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month.  They are located at 1500 Hover Street, Longmont.  It is easy to find CENTRALongmont friends helping at The Round Pantry.  To volunteer, please click here to access their volunteer sign-up.

We also have many dedicated individuals who organize a Crop Walk team each fall.  The Boulder County CROP Hunger Walk takes place every October as a part of a nationwide effort to raise funds to help alleviate hunger and poverty here in the United States and internationally.  The walk has been raising funds since 1985 and works to support the grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts of Church World Service (CWS) around the world. This walk also helps to fund hunger-fighting programs such as Community Food Share serving Boulder and Broomfield counties as well as Bread for the World.  

Columbine Elementary is Central Longmont’s neighborhood school. We partner with Columbine to provide support through reading mentors with the Read and Swing circle, and volunteers for special events such as career day.  The caring staff at Columbine also identify students each year that need either a new pair of shoes or winter snow boots.  Our Shoes for Columbine program purchases these items, plus socks, for these wonderful kids.  We also provide Columbine with funds to gift a new book to every child before they leave for winter break each year.  Get involved with these wonderful outreach opportunities!
