DONATION DRIVES
GET INVOLVED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OUR NEIGHBORS.
catholic charities school supply drive
Working with parishes, businesses, school groups and ecumenical partners, we are gearing up to supply nearly 1,000 students with fully-equipped backpacks as they prepare for the next school year. Each year, our Catholic Charities' team members identify students who need some help getting all of their supplies and we work with them directly to make sure every child has just what she needs to be successful. If you'd like to get involved in this year's drive, please contact us at parish@ccdenver.org.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES COZY COMPANION DRIVE
When children arrive at Samaritan House, they are usually tired, overwhelmed and a bit frightened. We've discovered that encouraging them to choose and keep a stuffed animal significantly reduces their stress and offers them an instant source of comfort. Can you help?
Donate new or gently used and clean stuffed animals at the Samaritan House warehouse at 2301 Lawrence Street in Denver - M-F between 9am-4pm and from 9am-1pm on the weekend.
If you would like to organize a Cozy Companion Drive in your parish, school or neighborhood, please contact parish@ccdenver.org and we'll make it easy to get started.
women's care project
Unlike a winter coat or sturdy shoes, our clients regularly need new undergarments to retain the dignity we all deserve. You can help!
- ORGANIZE A DRIVE: Gather folks from your family, parish, high school or business and organize a drive.
- PICK UP A PAIR (OR TWO): Next time you're at the store, purchase a pair of women's underwear or new bras and head over to Samaritan House on Lawrence Street to drop off.
- $$ DONATIONS WELCOME: Donate to the Women's Care Project. We will take the funds and use them to purchase new bras & underwear in the sizes most needed at the time.
Remember, we do need new items, still in the packaging. Contact us at parish@ccdenver.org to learn more.
DIAPER DRIVES
The Bottom Line Diaper Bank supports Colorado families in need of diapers for infants, toddlers and incontinent adults. We support thousands of Coloradans through our Catholic Charities ministries and raise awareness about how access to diapers impacts families across Northern Colorado.
Each year, we conduct both Lenten and Fall Diaper Drives in the spring and fall and are grateful for diaper donations anytime throughout the year. Call 720.454.3795 for more information or contact us at nhung.nielsen@gmail.com.
adopt-a-family
The Catholic Charities' Adopt-A-Family program has been helping the Colorado community for nearly 30 years, matching compassionate donors like you with families and individuals who need some extra help this holiday season.
Thanks to our generous community, we are able to provide holiday gifts to children, families and seniors who otherwise would have none. Recipient families receive services through Catholic Charities ministries and are nominated by the Catholic Charities team who work with them on a regular basis. Our website opens up on November 1 of each year. To learn more about the program, email aaf@ccdenver.org.
