Donate Thanksgiving Baskets for Families
This year, you can help us reach our goal to provide 400 families with a delicious Thanksgiving meal. Now through Nov. 8, you can donate items or make a monetary gift to support local families.
Run a Toy Drive for Our Children’s Holiday Party
Each year, we spread holiday cheer at our annual Children’s Holiday Party, where kids enjoy games, crafts and photos with Santa Claus. Parents also visit our toy shop to choose free gifts for their children. Help us provide toys for 1,000 by running a toy drive or purchasing items from our Amazon Wishlist!
Volunteer with Tax Help Colorado
Tax Help Colorado helps thousands of individuals and families get the refund they are owed by providing high-quality, free tax preparation. We are recruiting volunteers for the 2025 tax season! Volunteering is easy and fun. Our staff provides all the training – no financial experience is needed. Join our Volunteer Kickoff on Nov. 20 to learn how you can join this important work.
Join a Donor Network
Leaders of all ages and backgrounds from across Metro Denver come together through our donor networks to solve the critical issues facing families. We are grateful for the many ways the members of our Tocqueville Society, Women United, Catalyst Society and LINC support Mile High United Way’s work. We invite you to consider joining a donor group this holiday season to support change in our community.
Support Local Business Owners
You can donate your time and skills to help small, local business owners take the next step toward growth. Volunteers and mentors are needed in the areas of marketing and financial planning to support our upcoming cohort.
