Spotlight Feature: 🛒 Sunny Side Market - Nourishing Colorado Springs One Bag at a Time

A Hub of Health in Colorado Springs

Right in the heart of our own Colorado Springs at 1520 Verde Dr, Sunny Side Market, part of the Care and Share Food Bank of Southern Colorado, stands as a cornerstone of community care. It's where, when the doors are open (Mon and Thurs 2–6 PM), hearts are full, and shopping baskets become vessels of hope for those in need.

🛒 Dignified Grocery Shopping Experience

Enroll, Enter, Enjoy
Before weaving through the aisles, a quick, one-time online enrollment is your key to a bounty of nutritious food. With a personal key fob in hand, shoppers can delve into the vibrant variety of fresh produce, meats, dairy, and pantry staples. The market ensures that every visit is more than just a transaction; it's an experience steeped in dignity and community spirit.

🏠 For the Locals, By the Locals

Shop with a Heart
Sunny Side Market is dedicated to nourishing its neighbors. To shop here, you simply need to be a resident of the area, embracing the local love. With a two-bag limit per visit and ability to come back once a week, the market thoughtfully extends its reach, ensuring ample food for all who come through its doors.

🥦 Freshness on the Shelves

Quality and Care in Every Bag
Each visit promises a selection of healthy and delicious food, from crisp greens to bakery-fresh bread. And yes, there is always room for a sweet indulgence because joy is an essential ingredient in every diet.

Note: Selection changes daily depending on what our local partners have available to donate at any given time.

💖 A Story of Shared Prosperity

At Sunny Side Market, the saying "less is more" comes alive with just two bags—not as a limit, but as a promise of quality and care. Each item is carefully selected, ensuring that when you leave, your bags are laden with not just groceries but also the essence of a community that looks after its own.

🤝 Join the Family

Sunny Side Market isn't simply a place; it's a vibrant chapter in our local narrative. It's a testament to what we can accomplish when we come together with compassion and generosity. 

Colorado Springs Town Tidings is honored to spotlight Sunny Side Market, a symbol of community service and shared sustenance. Whether you shop, donate, or volunteer, your involvement is a profound gesture of belonging to a community that cares deeply about its members. Let’s rally around this mission and grow together in unity and health.
