Good Sam’s is a community-led food pantry and emerging food center in Cortez, Colorado that offers free supplementary grocery items & fresh produce, workshops and volunteer opportunities.

We prioritize variety, choice and culturally-relevant food in a market-style environment.

Come shop during open hours and say hello!

Thanks to the support of our community, we've been able to grow and adapt through uncertain times, increasing food access and social support where we live.

We are creating programs, opportunities and partnerships that connect us all to nourishing, culturally-relevant food and knowledge. We deeply thank everyone who has taken action on behalf of the pantry.

Services will continue as we increase opportunities for involvement, source healthier food options, develop increased autonomy in the food system, and offer as much choice as possible for shoppers in a pleasant environment.

If there are food items important to you for your health, celebrations or ceremonies that you would like us to source, please let us know.
