Community Food Resources

The food pantry network of the Food Coalition is made up of six food pantries in Archuleta County. We work together to serve our community by securing and offering foods that are healthy and wholesome.  In mid-March 2020, we came together to collectively distribute food through our different locations.  

​Our locations include: Downtown Pagosa (Methodist Church), three in uptown Pagosa (Catholic Church, Episcopal Church and Restoration Fellowship), Aspen Springs (Amazing Grace), and Arboles (TARA Community Center).  To see hours of operation, click HERE
