A Precious Child, Inc.

Help us empower more children to succeed and achieve their full potential!

At A Precious Child, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. Yet, in our eight-county service area, more than 300,000 children are living in need—facing barriers that make it harder for them to succeed. That’s why we are committed to providing essential resources and opportunities that support children and families from cradle to career. 

Each year, we serve 50,000 children annually and 14,000 caregivers across the Denver metro area, ensuring they have the tools and support to build a brighter future. 

Through our cost-free store, Satellite Resource Centers and Community Distributions, we ensure families have their basic needs met—clothing, hygiene items, food, diapers and more—all provided with dignity, so families feel empowered, not just supported. 

Our Enrichment Opportunity programs give children access to sports, arts and educational activities, leveling the playing field by providing equipment, instruments and resources that allow them to participate fully alongside their peers. 

Each year, we help thousands of children start school with brand-new backpacks filled with supplies and, during the holidays, our gift program brings joy to children in need.  

For young adults, our Workforce Readiness program builds foundational skills, empowering them to step confidently into their future. 

With the dedication of over 7,000 volunteers and partnerships with more than 300 Agency Partners, we work together to create a stronger, more connected community. 

At A Precious Child, we are working to build a thriving society for all.

"This year, we were able to get backpacks for everyone and some general supplies for school which helped tremendously with the cost of living continuing to rise. I can’t explain how much this took off of my shoulders as much as I tried to prepare for the school year. Extremely grateful, the kids were excited about their backpacks." - Shana, Client of A Precious Child 

"A Precious Child has given us not only necessities but relief and peace from the chaotic stressful world. Me and my partner are here alone in Colorado and are raising out four children with no help from anyone else. He is working full time to support us while I continue my education. A Precious Child has helped us greatly in providing necessities to our children. Its helped us be less stressed about the future and how we are going to buy things for our children apart from worrying about our home and bills. I am grateful for the help i have received it is one less burden to have to think about, its helped me and my partner feel relaxed in knowing we have some help with our expenses which only seem to keep rising." - America, Client of A Precious Child 

"By having access to donated clothes and other items, our clients were able to have financial relief. It gave our families an opportunity to spend their money on other essential needs like utility or rent payments or being able to buy more food. Clothing can be expensive and getting free items will allow them to be comfortable wherever they go while also reducing the stigma that might come from wearing worn-out clothes. This event also created a beautiful community for our members, allowing women to share an experience uplifting each others confidence through cultural differences. " - Commun Denver, Agency Partner of A Precious Child
