💙 Benefiting Charity

UpRoot Colorado increases the nutrition security of Coloradans by harvesting and redistributing surplus, nutrient-dense foods while supporting the resilience of farmers.

Through “gleaning”, the act of harvesting excess crops from farmers' fields and redistributing this food to people experiencing food insecurity, UpRoot partners with farmers and recruits volunteers to harvest crops that might otherwise not be harvested or eaten. After the harvest, UpRoot collaborates with food banks, food pantries, and other organizations that distribute food at no cost to members of our community who do not have adequate access to nutritious food. It's not too late to add a donation to your registration--All-Out matches all donations so your donation dollars go far!
