Special Thanks to Summit Chiropractic and Apex Physical Therapy
As many of you know, A Precious Child has been operating from the basement of the Summit Chiropractic and Apex Physical Therapy offices located at 54 Garden Center. The use of the space was generously donated by the owners of Summit and Apex.
This gave A Precious Child the chance to embark on our mission, launch our programs, and grow into an organization that is making a real impact in the lives of disadvantaged and displaced children. We will be forever grateful to Summit and Apex for their support and use of space our inaugural year.

A Precious Child is Moving
We are excited to be moving our offices and Central Clothing Bank to a bigger space that will allow us to help more children and families in need. A Precious Child will be moving to:
557 Burbank St. Suite E.
Broomfield, CO 80020.
The move will take place in March (details to follow) but we will have the month of February to paint and prepare the space. Our new Central Clothing Bank will be amazing. Not only will the space be larger and better organized, we will have a drop-off and loading dock for our clients.
However, we are in urgent need of some volunteers to help us make this move a real success. We particularly need volunteers to help us with moving the clothing and office to the new location.
Please let us know if you are able to help. Thank You!

A Precious Child Needs Clothing
Over the holidays A Precious Child provided many disadvantaged children and families with much needed clothing. Now, our clothing supplies are low. We need to replenish our Central Clothing Bank and to do so we need your help!
However, since we are moving we ask you to begin putting aside any gently used clothing that you are willing to donate to A Precious Child and deliver your donation to our new facility in March.
Thank you for help!
