基本需求
We believe everyone should be able to meet their basic needs, so they can focus on what’s possible.
In Colorado, 40% of residents say they are “just getting by financially.” 1 in 3 are concerned that they may not always be able to afford food.¹ Our programs and services ensure everyone in our community has a roof over their head and food on the table, so they can focus on the future and on achieving greater resiliency.

Harvesting Resources to Restore Hope
After injuring his back at work and losing his job, a Metro Denver man faced eviction and mounting medical bills. That’s when he reached out to our 211 Help Center. We used an emergency assistance fund made possible through generous donors to help him catch up on his bills, and we connected him to shelter, food resources and a P.O. box to use as he pursued a worker’s compensation claim. The emergency assistance fund is just one example of how our 211 navigators search for every possible resource when working with clients.
“I highly recommend 211 to anyone who is in need, especially those who are losing their hope.”
