Join other alumni for this year's Alumni Service Day! If you are in or near Minneapolis or Denver, you are in luck—we’re partnering with organizations and alums in these cities to provide volunteer opportunities. Be a part of an alumni network that connects meaningfully within their communities.

DENVER

Saturday, May 18 8:45am-noon
Led by Scott Forbes '82
Food Bank of the Rockies
Location: Main Warehouse 10700 E. 45th Avenue, Denver

Food Bank of the Rockies is the largest hunger relief organization in the Rocky Mountain region. They distribute upwards of 181,500 meals every day. But, for those in need, they provide more than just food. They give hope and open a future. Because when you can’t provide for your family today, it’s hard to even think about tomorrow.

Volunteers will work in two of three areas of the warehouse.

  1. Reclamation: sort, wipe and repackage incoming donations
  2. Distribution: pick orders and load pallets for outgoing partners
  3. Senior area: build and pack food orders
