Aspen Business Collective Launches Community Support Drive
Aspen, Colorado – November 20, 2025 – A local Aspen company is spearheading a comprehensive food and clothing drive aimed at bolstering support for residents facing economic hardship as winter approaches. The Aspen Business Collective, a networking association for local entrepreneurs, announced the initiative today, seeking to provide essential resources to individuals and families within the Roaring Fork Valley.
The drive comes as the cost of living in aspen continues to rise, impacting a growing segment of the community. Organizers say the effort is designed to directly address immediate needs while fostering a spirit of collective duty. Donations will be accepted through December 15, 2025, with distribution planned before the holiday season.
“We recognize that many in our community are struggling, and we wanted to create a tangible way for local businesses and individuals to give back,” said a spokesperson for the Aspen Business Collective.”This isn’t just about providing food and clothing; it’s about showing our neighbors that they are supported and valued.”
Donation drop-off locations have been established at several businesses throughout Aspen and Snowmass Village, including the Aspen Art Museum and the Snowmass Village Recreation Center. The Collective is specifically requesting non-perishable food items, warm winter clothing (coats, hats, gloves, scarves), and new or gently used shoes.
The Aspen Business collective was founded in 2018 to promote collaboration and economic growth within the Aspen area. The organization regularly hosts networking events and workshops for its members, and this marks its first large-scale community outreach program. Further details about the drive, including a complete list of accepted items and drop-off locations, can be found on the Aspen Business Collective website at [website address].
