What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
The Community Market, formerly known as The Eagle River Valley Food Bank
We believe the well being of one is linked to the well being of all.
The Community Market helps make sure that no family in our community has to choose between paying bills or putting food on the table.
Here in Eagle County, more than 8,700 residents deal with food insecurity.The Community Market provides access to free, nutrient-rich food throughout the County with markets featuring a variety of fresh produce, dairy and bread as well as shelf-stable grocery items, all available for each customer’s own choosing.
MIRA Bus
We know that to improve wellness, we need to bring resources to where people need us most.
When it comes to promoting wellness for the people who live and work in Eagle County, MIRA is about taking down barriers, making people feel welcome, providing education about available resources and helping those we serve navigate it all. The MIRA bus is a one-stop integrated and culturally relevant way
to connect people to basic health education and screenings, support in applying to public assistance programs, food resources, workforce development, coordination with childhood programming and more. MIRA is relevant and trusted, as resources and services available on MIRA change based on community needs and priorities.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
EVCF is a young, entrepreneurial organization founded to address the greatest needs of the marginalized people living and/or working within the Eagle River Valley and beyond. EVCF is not a traditional community foundation, rather we work in conjunction with community partners to both deliver direct service programs and support the impact and capacity building of other nonprofit organizations. To support the economic security and prosperity of people throughout Eagle County, the essential needs of their families must first be met. Through our programs, we not only aim to provide immediate assistance and support to families who are suffering from food insecurity and a lack of access to health resources, we also aim to partner with community members to build their own capacity as leaders, advocates, and empowered members of our community.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
EVCF is a convener, inspiring collective action to local challenges, always keeping our ear to the ground and providing responsive solutions to the most emerging needs of Eagle Valley community members. Current areas of focus include: Addressing Food Insecurity through Healthy Food Access (The Community Market), Early Care and Learning, Health & Wellness Resources and Referrals (MIRA), Nonprofit Leadership Capacity Building, and Building Community Leadership Among People of Color (Elevar Social Venture Fund). Through each of these current core focus areas of Eagle Valley Community Foundation, the lens of equity, inclusiveness, building economic power, and leveling the playing field for all people in our community are at the center of this work. All of our programs are tailored to the culture, neighborhood and needs of the community with a focus on building upon the strengths of each family and individual we serve.
