Local Companies Celebrate and Thank Boulder's Election Workers

Purely Elizabeth and Justin’s – two Boulder-based food companies – have partnered with Frontline Impact Project, a social impact platform started by The KIND Foundation, to help sustain Boulder County’s poll workers and ballot counters this election season. Roughly 650 people have signed up to serve on the frontlines of the election amid a pandemic. Election workers across the county will have access to a variety of resources including Purely Elizabeth granola bars; Justin’s cashew butter; KIND bars; La Colombe coffee; and Neuro gum. In total, more than 6,000 items will be distributed on or before Election Day.

“Every election, we rely on hundreds of dedicated bipartisan election judges to work long tireless hours over several weeks in order to implement accessible, secure, and fair elections for Boulder County,” said Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Molly Fitzpatrick. “It is an even greater ask to serve during a pandemic, but we couldn’t do it without them. It is wonderful to have Frontline Impact Project provide nourishing snacks that we can distribute to voting sites and that will help keep these folks going strong as they serve voters through Election Day and continue to process ballots in the days after."

Elizabeth Stein, founder of Purely Elizabeth, says, “With the Boulder & Denver communities being so near and dear to our hearts, we are thrilled to be able to help in any way we can, through our nourishing snacks, to fuel these admirable election workers.”

“Frontline Impact Project started as a turnkey way for companies to donate goods to frontline workers, including those facing COVID-19 and natural disasters,” says Michael Johnston, President of The KIND Foundation. “Thanks to companies like Purely Elizabeth and Justin’s, we’re able to extend support to selfless citizens across Boulder County who help ensure that our democracy works for everyone.”
