We are a unique community foundation, providing responsive solutions for our neighbors in need. We address food insecurity, provide health & wellness resources, support nonprofit capacity building and help build community leadership among people of color. We empower individuals and families to gain a hand up, not a hand out.

Offering barrier-free access to vital health resources.
Providing access to free, nutrient-rich food across the county.
Supporting leadership capacity building for people of color.
Help change the trajectory of someone’s life in the Eagle Valley.
“The partnership with The Community Market is a total game changer. The whole team is super supportive and we are so grateful not only for our food program but for all those in our community, including our families, who access our programs.”– Whitney Young,Executive Director of the Family Learning Center
“The Community Market fed me and my daughter, without asking questions or judging us. They just welcomed me and supported me when I needed it most. Now, I’ve found a way to give back to this organization that changed my life.” – Hayde, Owner, Plentiful Roots
“The community really trusts the people who work and volunteer on the MIRA bus. We are able to take some of the services that are offered at clinics and hospitals and bring them to the community, to people’s homes who might not otherwise be able to access care. Most of the patients we see don’t have insurance, so helping them to navigate the system and provide basic health screenings is critical to their health and wellness.” – Kyler Hijmans, Nurse Practitioner

🌱As September unfolds, we observe Hunger Action Month— a time to reflect on the pressing issue of food insecurity that affects many within our community. At EVCF, we believe that addressing this challenge requires a collective effort and unwavering commitment.
🍊 Hunger Action Month is not just a reminder of the needs that persist but also a call to action. Every step we take can make a meaningful difference:
🔶 Volunteer – Your time is a powerful tool. By volunteering, you can directly impact lives, helping us to distribute food and resources where they are needed most.
🔶 Lead a Food Drive – Organize or participate in a food drive to raise awareness and collect essential goods. Your efforts can mobilize our community and amplify our reach.
🔶 Donate – Financial contributions enable us to sustain our programs and provide nourishment to over 6,000 individuals each week. Every donation helps us bring hope and sustenance to those in need.
🧡 Together, we have the power to create change. Your involvement, whether through volunteering, organizing a food drive, or making a donation, brings us closer to a future where no one in our community has to face hunger.
