Denver County Community Food Utility (DCCFU) concept
The Denver County Community Food Utility (DCCFU) concept was formed in a recent NewImpact Catalyst Project. It is a potential new public utility with the mission of reducing food access barriers and enabling food choice, with focus on programs that reduce food cost, increase access convenience, and reduce charitable food stigma.
By enabling residents to work together towards collective priorities, DCCFU can leverage consumer demand and item procurement power to improve quality, sourcing standards, and food access. In turn, this will improve outcomes of all residents and the community overall. DCCFU core programs include Universal Basic Food, Community Data Commons, Cash Stipends and Dividends, Discounted Food, and Emergency Supply.
