FORDENVER CITYSQUARE DENVER IS THRIVING It has been a great year for CitySquare in Denver. At our Community Center on South Broadway, we continue to serve our neighbors with nutritious food, hot lunches, warm clothing, and referrals to other needed resources. Johnny and Susie Davis along with our dedicated volunteers continue to greet neighbors with prayers and loving support. Since Johnny and Susie Davis began helping our neighbors in March 2008, they have distributed well over 1.5 million pounds of food, and we have over 11,000 individuals and families in our service database. In May, CitySquare Denver welcomed Kevin Grierson to the team as the Executive Director. Under his leadership, many partnerships with charitable and government agencies have formed and solidified their support to provide a collective impact for our neighbors. One of these partnerships is the Food Bank of the Rockies, which delivers fresh produce, meat, breads, pastries, and miscellaneous dry goods every week. Other partner agencies (Bayaud Enterprises, Doctors Care, Colorado Coalition, and Family Tree House of Hope) are assisting neighbors with medical care, mental health counselors, housing referrals, job placement and training, and government assistance programs like SNAP, TANF, SSI disability, and Medicaid. Through the RTD Discount Fare Program, many neighbors will now receive free bus passes each month enabling them to get to work, the grocery store, school, and medical and mental healthcare appointments. As we move forward into 2016, we are excited to develop friendships with families, churches, organizations, and corporations to make the community of Denver stronger than ever. We invite you to join the fight by investing in our work. Please contact Kevin Grierson at kgrierson@CitySquare.org for more information. 14 CitySquare.org
