You Make Aging in Colorado Kinder, Healthier, and More Hopeful
In Colorado, 1 in 4 older adults lives alone, and too many face barriers to basic care, connection, and dignity.
Your monthly support ensures that no one has to navigate aging in isolation.
Because of your generosity, older adults across Colorado receive:
🎁Holiday baskets that bring comfort and joy to 350 neighbors in need
🧭Trusted advice for 1,000 older adults navigating Medicare and Medicaid
❤️Counseling and support for 600 people facing the challenges of aging
🦷Dental and vision care for hundreds who couldn’t otherwise afford it
Your generosity transforms lives — like Kris’s.
“I will be 76 in December and am mostly homebound. The holiday gift bag you delivered was
filled with everything I love and need. I hadn’t had a tangerine or an apple in six years.
It’s hard to believe there are so many angels on this earth—but there are, and that’s what you all are.”
And you bring hope to families like Dorothy’s:
“My husband looks forward to his weekly call from his Telephone Buddy. It’s something that
belongs just to him and gives him encouragement. Thank you for offering friendship to him.”
Your Gift This Colorado Gives Day (Nov. 1 – Dec. 9)
Your gift ensures older adults aren’t forgotten.
When you give monthly, you become part of a community standing beside Colorado’s aging adults
— bringing them connection, care, and comfort when they need it most.
Give today.
Give monthly.
Give comfort to Colorado’s seniors ❤️
