When students don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, they can focus on earning their degree.
In spring, Rowdy’s Corner consistently saw 500-600 students per week, up from 190 the previous year. The food pantry is currently $60,000 short of its goal to raise $160,000 and is asking all Roadrunners who are able to spread the word and support the vital program.
King Soopers Community Rewards
One of the easiest ways to help is by connecting your King Soopers card to Rowdy’s Corner through the Community Rewards option.

If you’re a coffee lover, this one’s for you. For just $20 a month, you can receive an engraved tumbler and grab unlimited coffee refills during Rowdy’s Corner operation hours.
