Contribute to Thanksgiving food drive for Arapahoe County Human Services clients

The season of giving is swiftly approaching and now is your opportunity to do just that. More than 400 vulnerable children, their families, and individuals served by Arapahoe County Human Services need community support this Thanksgiving. 

Every year, Human Services staff brings complete Thanksgiving meals to hundreds of clients and their loved ones who would otherwise go without on the holiday. All hands are needed to ensure that families will receive these meals this year. Human Services has partnered with Brave Church in Englewood to coordinate deliveries across the County. But Human Services still needs your help.
