Childhood hunger is a local problem and Kids Aid is a local solution.

We mainly rely on the generosity of our community members to alleviate food insecurity for our children and their families. In fact, 70% of funding is donated from local individuals, businesses, churches, and service clubs. The remaining 30% is awarded in grants from foundations, most of whom are based in the Grand Valley and Colorado. Of note, Kids Aid does not receive any government funding. We are very proud of being a largely community funded organization—raising and keeping our funding right here in Mesa County. Ready to join in? Click here to contribute.

Your Dollars In Action

Just under half of the students in Mesa County are eligible for the Federal free and reduced-priced lunch program and may go home on the weekends with no access to food. Kids Aid provides emergency food relief so that kids can come back to school, fed and ready to learn.
