The Denver Human Services’ Give Center is seeking shopping carts or bags with wheels to support food access for the children and families we serve. The Give Center serves close to 4,000 clients a year who need emergent resources – which include food. By providing the families we serve with food and a means to carry their food items with dignity — we take meaningful steps towards addressing hunger in our community.

Many of the parents, caregivers, and individuals who visit the GIVE Center lack access to reliable transportation, rely on public transit, or have disabilities that make it difficult to carry food. Having carts or wheeled bags readily available will help eliminate barriers and ensure that families—especially those with children—can safely and easily take food home. With your support, clients will be able to walk away not only with the food they need but with the means to carry it without added stress or hardship.

Below is the link the carts we are requesting. We are also open to used carts! Go To Link

This family has recently been able to move into an apartment after being homeless for two plus years. They do not have any furniture and are in need of two mattresses and bedding.

This family has recently secured housing and has been working SO hard to make ends meet. They have made an agreement with their landlord to pay off their security deposit over the span of 6 months so that they can pay rent and afford groceries each month. With this agreement, they are able to pay rent, afford groceries, and work towards paying off their security deposit. However, yesterday, their car broke down. Their car key broke off in their ignition, and they have been quoted $3000 for the fix; insurance will not cover this. They rely on their car to get all four of the kids to school (which is one of their only reliable support systems), both parents rely on their car to get to work, and they use the car to get to local foodbanks in order to provide groceries for their family. After working so hard, this repair is putting their hard-earned stability at risk. ANY financial donation towards this car repair would change this family's life as they work towards true stability.

This family is here through Asylum after fleeing their country. They have faced several hardships while here seeking safety but have been working hard to meet their family's needs while staying within the bounds of what they are legally required to do to continue to be granted asylum. Dad has been working extremely hard to take care of his family of 6, and mom was recently authorized to begin work, which will benefit the family. However, most of their funds go towards their basic nutrition needs and dad cannot find work right now because his previous job was seasonal. Additionally, one of the children has faced mental health challenges resulting from being the victim of a crime here in the US, which has led to emotional and financial stress for the family. The family was recently asked to leave where they've been staying at no fault of their own. They are temporarily moving into a small apartment with a friend but have no furniture or bedding. They would greatly benefit from a blender, griddle, sheets, blankets, pillows, suitcases, storage bins, or even a small dresser. ANY help at all towards this request would greatly benefit this family while they continue navigating employment, the legal immigration system, language barriers, etc., even if the entire request is not met.

This family has been able to find a stable living situation, and were able to sort out an agreement with their landlord to pay only the rent, and have 6 months to pay the security deposit of $2600. This family is still in desperate need of furniture, specifically dressers and mattresses. However, they are no longer needing suitcases or bedding at this time.
