Colorado Blueprint to End Hunger

Established in 2019, the Colorado Blueprint to End Hunger (Blueprint) is a collective action and capacity-building organization that envisions a Colorado where everyone can access the food they choose, where they want it, and when they need it. To achieve this, we're building a movement for a more responsive, equitable , and sustainable food system by shifting power to Colorado communities.

These are the four commitments that drive our work forward :

  • Strengthening resources and building capacity; and
  • Championing bold policy change.

As we work towards food justice and food sovereignty, our collective work is guided by the core values of equity, collaboration, transparency, and accountability to the communities most affected by hunger and food injustices, as well as acknowledging the commodification of food as a root cause of hunger.
