Here's just a small sampling of the impact our programs are having…

Community Gardens

Thanks to the generosity of community partners, volunteers, and donors, we are able to create community garden space just about anywhere. Our community gardens are deigned using perma-culture techniques as well as aquaponics. Our goal is to grow 75,000 pounds of food annually for food insecure families and individuals right here in our community. We also teach and help create similar spaces in partnership with other organizations across the United States.

health services

Our nurses provide medical assistance and resources to our underinsured and uninsured clients from the Pikes Peak and Eastern Plains regions of Colorado. They connect people with dental, vision, and general health services. For clients needing assistance navigating insurance, our Medicare Insurance Specialist helps eligible families apply for coverage or receive the most out of their existing coverage.

Food Distribution

Every week we open our doors to hundreds of families in need. We provide them with groceries, including fresh produce we grow. While they are there they can enjoy a hot or cold beverage while they build relationships with our volunteers and staff. We capture their needs and try to help them overcome hardships in sustainable ways. We like to say “It all starts with the food…”

Employment connections

In an effort to truly transform lives, we connect our clients with employment opportunities through staffing agencies. However, many of the people we serve are considered unemployable for a variety of reasons. We hope to build our Transitional Employment program, which teaches individuals new skills, helps them earn a paycheck, and facilitates their ability to transition and adapt to a work environment. For young people, we help instill a strong work ethic and personal discipline to enable them to climb the ladder at work. We rely are looking for funding and partnerships to rejuvenate our Transitional Employment program.
