Efforts for Good: Giveo’s Featured Client of the Week – 9Cares Colorado Shares
Since 1983 when they started in the 9News parking lot, 9Cares Colorado Shares has been working to feed, clothe and provide basic necessities to less fortunate families across the region. In just over two decades, their food drive has grown into one of the largest one-day food, clothing and toy drives in Colorado. 9News has made it their mission, responsibility and privilege to enhance the quality of life in their community and this summer, they need your help.
Most people think of summertime as the time of year where kids and families can relax. But what many don’t realize is that families across the state struggle during the summer months to feed their children without the help of school lunch programs. This season, 9Cares Colorado Shares is taking online donations in an effort to help provide basic necessities for families in need throughout the community.
With the current economy, food banks have seen a 35% decrease in donations for families in need. But with your help, 9Cares Colorado Shares will be able to purchase goods such as peanut butter, tuna fish, soups, stews, mac n’ cheese, canned fruits and veggies and toiletry items that will help supply more than 125 food banks across the metro Denver area and along the Front Range.
By donating just $20, they’ll be able to purchase two bags of food. $50 will purchase five bags of food and $100 buys ten bags. This summer, help your community by joining 9Cares and give kids around the state a healthy, happy and fun summer.
