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. We are held by this community and we hope our efforts always expand the love and blessings we receive.

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 diet, celebrations or ceremonies that you would like us source, please let us know.

Stay tuned as we continue to transform our warehouse space into a thriving community food center for all in 2025.

The Good Samaritan Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that offers food assistance to anyone who needs it. It is our mission to ensure we all have equitable access to healthy food and supportive connections while working together to build a more just food system.
