Help Fill the Gap:

Partner with Crossfire Ministries to Purchase Food by the Pallet

Every Pallet Counts

When federal food assistance pauses, local generosity fills the shelves. Crossfire Ministries invites individuals, neighborhoods, churches, civic groups, and businesses to come together and purchase food in bulk so that every family in El Paso County continues to have access to nutritious groceries this November.

Our latest pricing from food distributors shows just how far your dollars can go when we buy in volume.

“Every can, every contribution, and every prayer makes a real difference. Together, we can keep our shelves full and our community strong.”
— Renee Beebe, Executive Director

Recent Food Costs

When we purchase by the pallet, we can stretch resources further, reduce transportation costs, and ensure consistent access to staples like vegetables, fruit, chicken, and fresh produce for our 1,500 families served weekly.

You Can Make a Direct Impact

Your group can help by purchasing:

  • A full pallet of canned vegetables or fruit

  • A half pallet of chicken or lettuce

  • A case or two through pooled giving with your neighbors

Every gift of any size helps fill the shelves and the hearts of families facing food insecurity.

Most Needed Items

  • Dry pasta

  • Canned fruit and vegetables

  • Canned tomato products and sauces

  • Canned meat and hearty soups

  • Cereal

  • Baby formula

Join the Effort

You can help right now by sponsoring food purchases or donating directly toward pallets.

Your partnership ensures that no family faces an empty table this month.
Together, we can fill every shelf—and every heart—with hope.
