Founded in 2023 by St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch, CO, the St. Andrew Market at the East Community Center focuses on building relationships, walking alongside, and caring for the community. We help to bridge the hunger gap and offer everyday household necessities in a free, safe, and low-barrier market where families can shop for supplemental food, diapers, and hygiene items. We need your help stocking our shelves!
We are asking people to shop for our most current Donations Needed, grocery gift cards, offer monetary donations (for volunteers to be able to shop for fresh items the day before), paper, and hygiene products.
We are looking for volunteers to shop for fresh items, transport donations from St. Andrew to the market, stock shelves, personal shoppers, and so much more! Please email us if you want to learn more and serve with us at the market.

Previous Market Events
St. Andrew Market 2025 Holiday Event
Recap
Our Third Annual Holiday Event was a beautiful success as we welcomed 144 families. Each family received fresh produce, groceries, snacks, a King Soopers gift card, and two toys for each child in their household. Our hope is that this event brought a bit of relief, dignity, and holiday joy to families who needed a little extra support during the season.
St. Andrew Market 2026 Back-to-School Event
Recap
St. Andrew Market’s 4th Annual Back to School Event was a beautiful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together to ensure every child feels seen, supported, and ready for the year ahead. Students and families received school supplies, new shoes, haircuts, health screenings, outdoor activities, and a hot community meal.
More than just back-to-school shopping, the evening was a joyful celebration of connection and care, made possible through the generosity of the St. Andrew UMC community, Littleton Sharing Community Group, Girl Scouts, Costco at Riverpoint, Wholly Kicks, Doctors Care, St. Andrew Kids and Senior Adult Ministries, High 5 Sports, Boy Scouts of America, BOK Financial, Break Bread, Forester Medical, Littleton Public Schools, East Community Center, and grant funding from Arapahoe County Aid to Agencies.
A special thank you to the St. Andrew Grill Team and all of our dedicated volunteers who gave their time, energy, and heart to make this event possible.
