A Poem from A Client of A Precious Child
| |
You're an organization that stands out from among the rest as you commit to excellence in your service and nothing less. Each staff member contributes something special to your space whether with a kind word to a family or a smile on their face. Each family that you welcome has a story indeed. They're not just a statistic or a hopeless case in need. As they endure temporary hardships, it's a blessing to know that when in need of basic clothing, to you they can go. The labor of love that you do is not in vain. There are great rewards and so much to gain. As your heart and mission remains focused on giving, you're truly making a life and not just a living. Behold the dawn of a brand new level in this work that you do! You're about to increase, oh yes, it's true! Now isn't the time to fear or doubt, but rather to trust and believe. As a result, everything you need, you shall surely receive. We thank you for what you do!

Update: Flood Relief Efforts
| | |
Although the rain has come and gone, we continue to receive support from across the US! We have experienced tremendous response from the community to support victims of the Colorado floods, and have been amazed by the generosity and help we have received.
Leah and Lauren, two young ladies with kind hearted aspirations, collected goods to help with flood relief efforts. They were able to ship three palettes of goods to Colorado all the way from Florida!
We also received 475 boxes, which was close to 6000 pounds of donations, from our friends up in the Mini-Cassia area of Idaho. Individuals from within this community spent three weeks weeks collecting, sorting, labelling, and personally delivering donations to our Resource Center!
Locally, Emerald Elementary hosted a clothing drive to support flood victims. Many of the families who are apart of the elementary school's community struggle to provide essentials for their own family, but felt compelled to donate to a worthy cause.
Last but not least, a class of local fifth graders raised $150 to support flood victims. The money was collected by the students of Emerald Elementary School and Malley Drive in Northglenn.
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported our organization and this great cause!
