Project Support's nutrition and transportation programs are operated by Volunteers of America. The housing program is supported by the rents paid by the apartment occupants. Our Thrift Shoppe sales support management salaries. Memberships and donations support all other activities.
For over four decades Volunteers of America has had the privilege of working with Project Support to provide transportation and nutrition services to the elderly citizens of Clear Creek County. Project Support is the foundation of Oder Americans Act programming in Clear Creek County, providing the facilities, volunteers and much of the equipment to provide congregate meals, home-delivered meals and transportation to the seniors of the county. You are truly a community-based organization in every sense, unflinching in your mission to enhance the lives of so many elderly individuals, providing them with services that otherwise would not be available in this small mountain county.
Virdell Miller, Associate director of Nutrition Services, Volunteers of America
Project Support started in 1976. We are a 501 (c) (3) that provides resources and services for all older adults in Clear Creek County, Colorado.
These services include hot lunches Monday-Friday in partnership with Volunteers of America, low-cost senior housing, and a senior center.
To support our activities, we operate the Queen's Wardrobe Thrift Shoppe.
Project Support also partners with Volunteers of America providing space and facilities to support Meals on Wheels delivery in our coverage area.
Project Support was incorporated on October 8, 1976. One of the highest priorities was establishing a meals programs, providing at least one meal a day for homebound and local residents. This goal was achieved through a unique, one of a kind partnership with Volunteers of America along with our school district, with meals being served in the Placer Inn.
On January 1, 1979, Project Support purchased the Queen Hotel. It was been remodeled to include a kitchen, dining room, community room and restrooms. In 1985 a $600,000 Community Development Block Grant enlarged the Queen to include the 14 apartments to provide affordable housing for older adults.
That addition also provided the space for our Queen's Wardrobe Thrift Shoppe. 100% of the Queen's profits support the cost of social, educational and recreational activities as well as our affordable housing.
