Each basket includes the essentials for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, including mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie mix.

Every donation helps us reach our goal of providing 355 Thanksgiving baskets to families across Metro Denver. Together, let’s bring a little more warmth, nourishment and gratitude to the holiday season. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4sbEE4B

Today, we’re celebrating our 139th birthday! 🎂

For 139 years, our story has been shaped by the people who make up our community: our generous donors, dedicated volunteers, community partners and all our neighbors who call Colorado home.

From our beginnings as the first United Way in the world to the work we do today, one thing has remained the same: when we come together, we can accomplish more than we ever could alone.

Here’s to 139 years of coming together, supporting one another and building a stronger community. And we’re just getting started! 💙

Members of our Family Impact Project came together recently for our United for a Cause volunteer event!

During the event, families assembled kits for children in our in-home early learning program, ensuring they have the materials they need to continue learning and growing this year. They also assembled Curriculum Kits filled with resources that support young children’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical development.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and to the families who continue to make this work possible. Together, we’re helping children build a strong foundation for the future. 💙
