Tri-Lakes Cares is committed to providing a community safety net for families and individuals in need in northern El Paso County. Our no-cost Market offers a variety of fresh and non-perishable foods, everyday household items, and a warm welcome from our dedicated staff and volunteers. Eligible neighbors can also access housing, transportation, medical, and referral services. Our mission is fueled by hope, responsiveness, and a commitment to treating everyone with kindness, respect, and empathy.

Take Action

Help us help our neighbors

Every dollar and item donated to Tri-Lakes Cares is handled with loyalty and care, ensuring we steward resources effectively for our community. Your trust in TLC empowers us to advocate for our clients every day.

If you are looking for a more efficient, streamlined way to donate, consider our monthly donation program. The most common recurring donation is around $52 per month, but you can choose the amount that works best for your budget.

Our pantry and market is the hub of our client community. Check on our current needs for goods and supplies, and drop off your donation during our regular donation hours Monday – Thursday 10 am – 4 pm.

Impact someone’s future, while still meeting your goals of financial security right now. We have innovative, tax-smart options that are easy to set up now while you are doing your financial planning.
