As he concludes his pep-talk, he announces that it is time to get …

Get Involved and Save Lives
For weeks now, we’ve been collecting rolling suitcases and backpacks to distribute in downtown Denver on Christmas Day. Thanks to the generosity of our awesome Stigma volunteers and donors, we have made great progress toward our goal of 1,000 rolling suitcases and backpacks. But we still have hundreds more to collect, and we need your …
Donate Your Rolling Suitcases
Thank you to all of our stigma fighters who have donated rolling suitcases for our Christmas in the Park event. We are making progress, but we still have a long way to go to reach our goal of 1,000 rolling suitcases and backpacks for our homeless neighbors.
Dust it Off and Save a Life

The Wait is Over. Let’s Go!
The election is over, but that means the work is just starting. There are a lot of hurting people. Let’s get to work! Can you help with our Fooding Cabinets? The concept is much like the, “Little Free Libraries,” you see around town. People can take the food they need, and leave food for others …

We have so much big news to share with you, our loyal supporters. We are making some significant progress in our efforts to crush the stigma! Let’s get seriously Neighborly! We have been approved to receive emergency relief “donation match” grant funding that we will use to supply Neighborlies to homeless students in Denver Public …
Neighborlies – Round 2
It’s a helpless feeling, isn’t it. We’ve all been impacted by COVID. Many of us have had our income trimmed, but we know that so many are suffering so much worse than we are. It’s so hard to know of the suffering, to feel it in our bones, and to sit helpless doing nothing. So …
