Our Services to Colorado's Kids
The Neighborhood Kitchen for Colorado Kids offers a service helping children get food during off hours and weekends away from school. We pride ourselves on being a team dedicated to fighting childhood hunger in our community. We work closely with our local schools to provide our food services to those children in need.
The Neighborhood Kitchen for Colorado Kids provides non-perishable food items to participating schools within the Aurora Public School District.

Standing with the Aurora Community
| The Aurora community has been changed by the tragic shooting that happened inside a local movie theater. Our hearts go out to those impacted and to our entire community.
News of a tragedy of this nature can be upsetting. Aurora Public Schools is reaching out to victims, their families and friends, and the entire Aurora community. APS has developed a Disaster Recovery and Resources website which provides access to information that may be helpful for you during this tragedy. |
