Food Bank Of The Rockies Inc.

Food Bank Of The Rockies Inc., doing business as Wyoming Food Bank Of The Rockies, is a Colorado-based nonprofit organization that acts as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient, delivering food assistance and nutrition programs across the Rocky Mountain region. The organization operates primarily in a sub-recipient role (88% of recent awards) under federal grant programs administered by state departments of human services, education, and health, with a smaller direct-grant footprint (12% of awards) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Food Bank Of The Rockies has no federal contract work and does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles or GWACs. Its federal footprint is entirely grant-funded. The organization is a tax-exempt corporate entity headquartered at 10700 E 45th Ave, Denver, Colorado, and operates a single named subsidiary with the same legal structure. Recent grant activity runs through Colorado state grantees and HUD. As a prime grant recipient, Food Bank Of The Rockies has received five awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Economic Development Initiative and Community Project Funding programs, with ultimate completion dates extending through August 2032. Two of those awards were issued on February 17, 2023, and two additional identical awards came in the same batch. A fifth HUD award arrived on August 13, 2024.

In its predominant sub-recipient capacity, Food Bank Of The Rockies receives funds from Colorado state agencies — the Department of Human Services, the Board of Education, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment — for federal nutrition and food-assistance programs including the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), the Local Food Purchase Assistance Program (LFPA), Community Development Block Grant COVID funding, and school nutrition block grants. The organization has acted as a sub-recipient on nutrition-block grants from the Colorado Board of Education (multiple sub-awards in 2024, 2025, and 2026), TEFAP sub-awards from Colorado's Department of Human Services and Family Services Department spanning 2022 through 2024, CSFP sub-awards from the Department of Human Services in 2025 and 2026, LFPA sub-awards from the Department of Human Services in December 2022 and May 2025, and Health Equity for Populations at Risk of Diabetes sub-awards from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Two Community Development Block Grant COVID sub-awards for food purchase and distribution to local food banks and mobile food units came in May 2023 and April 2026.

Total obligated federal dollars across all 43 awards (prime and sub combined) are $10.8 million. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service dominates customer concentration by award count (27 awards across two service lines), followed by HUD's Community Planning and Development office (5 awards), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (4 awards), and the Agricultural Marketing Service (3 awards), covering 91% of recent activity. Activity accelerated sharply from 2022 to 2024 — two awards in 2022, nine in 2023, and twenty in 2024 — then moderating to seven awards in 2025 and five in the first five months of 2026. No recompete cliff signals are present in the source; ultimate completion dates on multi-year grants extend through 2032, but the organization's role as a downstream sub-recipient means competitive exposure flows primarily through its state-agency prime grantees rather than through direct recompete with Food Bank Of The Rockies.
