Today, Food for Thought Denver has grown into a vital lifeline for the community, serving 75 schools across the Denver area—all while remaining a 100% volunteer-driven organization.

There With Care: There With Care brings a unique and deeply impactful expertise in providing truly comprehensive, wrap-around support for families facing a medical crisis. 

Project Angel Heart: Project Angel Heart was founded more than 30 years ago to address a major challenge for Coloradans who are severely ill: getting the nutrition they need to get stronger, heal, and remain at home. Many are too sick to get to the grocery store and unable to cook for themselves. Others find they have to choose whether to buy food or medication to make ends meet. That’s why Project Angel Heart prepares and delivers medically tailored meals to people living with severe illnesses.

Meals on Wheels provides meals for older (60+) or homebound adults. Their chef and his team prepare 650-725 nutritious, hot meals from scratch every day, and dedicated volunteers deliver them directly to clients' hands.

📩 Volunteer Opportunity – Year-End Mailings with Tall Tales Ranch

📍10055 Library Wy, Lone Tree, CO 80124

📚 Join us at the Lone Tree Library to support Tall Tales Ranch with an important and hands-on volunteer project. Tall Tales Ranch is a Colorado nonprofit creating an inclusive community where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can live, work, and thrive. Our programs focus on social connection, employment, and life skills, and our ambassadors are at the heart of everything we do.

Our ambassadors are adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who participate in our programs and represent Tall Tales Ranch in the community. They bring enthusiasm, personality, and purpose to projects like this one, and volunteers will work alongside them throughout the session.

For this volunteer shift, you’ll help us complete our annual year-end mailings. We’re taking a more personal approach this year. Each ambassador has written their own letter and is sending it to people in their network, donors, and supporters. Volunteers will be paired one-on-one with an ambassador to ensure each packet is assembled accurately.

Tasks include:

• Stuffing envelopes with letters
• Applying mailing labels
• Sealing envelopes
• Helping ambassadors review their mailing lists and prepare their packets

Your support directly strengthens our year-end efforts and helps share our ambassadors’ stories with the community. We appreciate your care and attention to detail as we assemble these meaningful mailings together.

🌲 We hope to see you at the Lone Tree Library for this special volunteer session!

Help give students in-need a positive shopping experience! Volunteers assist by sorting, organizing, and stocking gently used clothing in the boutique. This is an active role involving lifting, bending, and standing, with accommodations available as needed. Your efforts help students find seasonal, stylish clothing while enjoying a welcoming and supportive environment.

When you arrive at CTKD:
Come into the Donation Center door - left of the barber shop.  To check in, you will... 
- Introduce yourself to a staff member and put on a name tag.
- Sign our volunteer logbook and waiver.
- Store any personal items in the lockers. Locks are not provided.

Volunteer Roles:
Volunteers may serve in a few different ways. These are active volunteer roles - you will be moving boxes, bending into bins, lifting bags and standing for the duration of their volunteer shift. We do make accommodations as needed.

Adult volunteers may work directly with the families we serve. These volunteers will help shoppers find the school clothes they need for their children and check them out when done shopping. This is a customer service position that requires a great deal of empathy, kindness and patience with our shoppers who often are in challenging circumstances and sometimes don't speak English.

Both adult and teen volunteers process incoming clothing and shoe donations by sorting, sizing, and hanging the items needed to restock the store.
- This position requires great attention to detail to make sure we are outfitting the students we serve with high quality clothing. 
- This role is essential to keeping the store fully stocked which gives our shoppers the most variety to meet their needs. 

On any given day, volunteers may also:
- Greet clothing donors and assist unloading donations.
- Keep the store organized and tidy by straightening clothing racks, sorting hangers or taking out the recycling.
- "Rainbow" the racks.
- Help with other needs or special projects. 

👕 What to wear:
We suggest you wear casual clothes suitable for a work environment. 
- Comfortable shoes are a good idea since volunteers will be on their feet the entire shift.
- Dressing in layers is helpful since the temperature varies widely depending on which part of the store you are in. 
- This is an active volunteer role - you will be moving, bending, lifting - so be comfortable.

At Clothes To Kids of Denver, we give free school clothes to students in-need or in-crisis. Our boutique stocks a wide selection of high quality, gently used clothing donated by the community. Students get to shop in a welcoming space where they can select the seasonal and stylish wardrobe pieces that meet their needs. This shopping experience is what sets CTKD apart.

📩 Volunteer Opportunity – Year-End Mailings with Tall Tales Ranch

📍10055 Library Wy, Lone Tree, CO 80124

📚 Join us at the Lone Tree Library to support Tall Tales Ranch with an important and hands-on volunteer project. Tall Tales Ranch is a Colorado nonprofit creating an inclusive community where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can live, work, and thrive. Our programs focus on social connection, employment, and life skills, and our ambassadors are at the heart of everything we do.

Our ambassadors are adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who participate in our programs and represent Tall Tales Ranch in the community. They bring enthusiasm, personality, and purpose to projects like this one, and volunteers will work alongside them throughout the session.

For this volunteer shift, you’ll help us complete our annual year-end mailings. We’re taking a more personal approach this year. Each ambassador has written their own letter and is sending it to people in their network, donors, and supporters. Volunteers will be paired one-on-one with an ambassador to ensure each packet is assembled accurately.

Tasks include:

• Stuffing envelopes with letters
• Applying mailing labels
• Sealing envelopes
• Helping ambassadors review their mailing lists and prepare their packets

Your support directly strengthens our year-end efforts and helps share our ambassadors’ stories with the community. We appreciate your care and attention to detail as we assemble these meaningful mailings together.

🌲 We hope to see you at the Lone Tree Library for this special volunteer session!
