There are many non-profit organizations looking for volunteers especially during these challenging times and the upcoming holidays!
Volunteers
Local Food Banks Under Strain
Even before the government shutdown local food banks were already experiencing increased demand. Monetary donations can help them quickly buy in bulk to meet this unprecedented need. Please consider donating to your local food bank or to Feeding Colorado.
Help Make Thanksgiving Special
