Superhero Supply Center
Free food, clothing, and household goods, right inside Columbine Elementary. No sign-up, no ID, and no proof of income. Take as much as you want.
Free. Everything. Really, truly, totally free.
No ID. No sign-up and no proof of income.
No limits. Take as much as you want.
Two ways to shop
Shop at school
- Come any time during school hours, or right after school.
- Check in at the front office. Tell Martha, Mariana, or another staff member how many people you are shopping for.
- Go to the second floor, next to the elevator, and take what you want. Bring your own bags if you have them. We have plastic bags too.
Order online
- Fill in the order form by Wednesday at 5pm. Write any food allergies or diets on the form.
- Volunteers pack your order. If something runs out, we pick something similar.
- Your child brings the order home on Friday. Send them with room in their backpack, and meet them at the bus stop. Groceries are heavy and children are small!

First visit?
We are so glad you are thinking about a visit. Here are answers to the questions families ask most.
Is it really all free?
Yes. Everything in the Superhero Supply Center is really, truly, absolutely, totally free.
Who can use it?
Everyone in the Columbine community: students, parents, and staff. People who are not part of Columbine cannot use the Superhero Supply Center.
Do I need to register, bring ID, or show proof of income?
No. The only thing we count is how many people the Superhero Supply Center serves. We trust that if you come, you need it. And if you need it, we hope you come!
Is there a limit on how much I can take?
No. In person, take as much as you can carry. Online, think about how much your child can carry home.
Where is it?
On the second floor of Columbine Elementary, right next to the elevator. Check in at the front office first.
What if something on my online order is out of stock?
We try hard to keep the order form current, but some items go fast. If we do not have something, we pick something similar. Write any food allergies or diets on the form so that the swap works for your family.
Where does the food come from?
Harvest of Hope delivers food every week: canned fruit and vegetables, pasta, soup, beans, and peanut butter. Volunteers pick up snacks from Conscious Alliance every month. Other community partners donate too.
