We work from the ground up to build
Place-based solutions to food insecurity
Food insecurity impacts more than 1 in 9 individuals across Colorado, and 1 in 7 children are at risk of not having the right quantity or quality of food to eat.
That’s why we’re focusing our work right here at home, building a coalition of neighbors to deliver local solutions to food insecurity in Southeast Denver.
Ellis Elementary School
Ellis is located in the Virginia Village neighborhood of SE Denver and includes grade levels ECE-Grade 5. There are over 450 students enrolled as of September 2024.
More than 90% of the students enrolled at Ellis qualify for free/reduced lunch, which makes all students eligible to be enrolled in The LoVVe Project. The LoVVe Project has been serving Ellis families since May 2020.
Place Bridge Academy
Place Bridge Academy is located in the Cook Park neighborhood of SE Denver and includes grade levels ECE-Grade 8. There were over 800 students enrolled as of September 2024.
More than 85% of the students enrolled at Place Bridge Academy (PBA) qualify for free/reduced lunch, which makes all students eligible to be part of The LoVVe Project. We have been serving PBA families since January 2026.
