We appreciate you!

Throughout the year, and especially during the season of giving, our supporters never fail to amaze us with their generosity. When we shared that we’re seeing more food insecurity, you made sure our pantry shelves were filled, and clients received healthy meals. When you learned that throughout our agency, needs have expanded, you donated to our fundraising appeals. And when we asked for gifts so families who needed a little extra boost this holiday season, you made sure they had presents. You brought joy and light to our friends who needed all of us. 

On Colorado Gives Day, we shared that increasing needs, decreasing funding, and more complex cases make our work more challenging than ever. You answered our call to put meals on tables, provide financial relief to prevent record-high housing evictions, offer mental health support to combat trauma, and run classes to learn new skills for better employment opportunities, and so much more. You gave generously, and together we received more than $X from Y donors and met our remarkable match from Lois and Jay Miller. 

This year, through our Adopt a Family Bright Holidays gift program, 412 individuals and 88 families felt the warmth of your support and kindness. And our Secret Shopper program was just as joyful with 208 number of gifts received to give to our clients who struggle to provide the magic of the holiday season. 

We can always count on our supporters, and this holiday season was no different. From everyone at JFS, thank you so much for donating so that we can continue to do even more for those in our community who rely on us. Like us, you believe our doors must remain open to meet individuals and families in their moment of need, and thanks to your support, we are making a difference to strengthen our community.
