Bienvenidos Food Bank begins at the St. Patrick’s Action Center on Pecos Street under the leadership of Ellen L. Torres and Carrol Duran.

The St. Patrick’s Food Pantry becomes one of the first food pantries in the Denver area, predating Food Bank of the Rockies (1978) and operating alongside early programs such as Community Ministries (1967), Twin Parish Pantry (1974) and Metro Caring (1975).
