Impacting Tomorrow and Jungle Jim's International Market officially celebrates the grand opening of “The Market at Impacting Tomorrow, proudly sponsored by Jungle Jim’s” on Thursday, June 18 at 11 a.m. at the Impacting Tomorrow campus in Loveland.
The partnership represents a transformational collaboration focused on expanding dignified food access, improving health outcomes, and strengthening family stability throughout the region. This year, Impacting Tomorrow is on pace to serve 200,000 guests in their market, boutique and healthcare facilities, up from 125,000 families served in 125,000.
“At Impacting Tomorrow, we believe food changes everything,” said Ken Tracy, co-founder of Impacting Tomorrow. “Healthy food helps create healthier people, healthier families, and more stable communities. This partnership is about much more than food distribution. It’s about dignity, hope, reducing stress on families, and helping people move toward long-term stability.”
The partnership includes both ongoing food support and financial investment from Jungle Jim’s to help strengthen and expand The Market experience for families facing hardship. In addition to product support, Jungle Jim’s has invested in the redesign, branding, guest experience, and long-term sustainability of the market environment.
The newly redesigned market blends the energy, creativity, and immersive guest experience that Jungle Jim’s is known for with the mission-driven work of Impacting Tomorrow.
The upgraded environment features enhanced signage, improved organization, upgraded displays, stronger product presentation, engaging market flow, fun and welcoming family-centered design elements, and a children’s play area designed to create a more inviting and supportive experience for guests.
“At Jungle Jim’s, we’ve always believed food should bring people together and create joy,” said Jungle Jim Bonaminio, founder of Jungle Jim’s International Market. “We are proud to partner with Impacting Tomorrow to help create a market experience that treats every family with dignity while expanding access to healthy food and resources.”
The redesigned market is intentionally built to remove stigma often associated with food insecurity by creating an engaging and welcoming environment where families feel valued and supported from the moment they arrive.
Guests visiting The Market at Impacting Tomorrow will experience a more immersive shopping environment with improved navigation, enhanced displays, upgraded shopping bags, expanded healthier food options, and an atmosphere designed to foster encouragement, connection, and community.
Impacting Tomorrow leaders say the partnership reflects the organization’s broader philosophy that transformational community impact requires collaboration across businesses, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, schools, churches, and civic leaders.
“This is a model for what can happen when organizations move beyond transactional giving and instead collaborate around long-term community outcomes,” said Jim Bonaminio, founder of Jungle Jim’s International Market. “We believe the future of community care is rooted in partnerships that create scalable and sustainable solutions for families. Of course, we wanted to start this movement by offering food to those in need.”
