COMMUNITY SERVICE
salvation army - red shield
December 2023 In the Denver Cherry Creek Rotary Club's annual tradition, we support the Red Shield with their Angel Tree project where new gifts are purchased and packaged for families in need. And during the holidays, you may see us in front of your favorite grocery store Ringing the Bell to collect donations for the Salvation Army. All money raised is used by the Salvation Army to support local social services.
operation warm
October 2023 Just as fall turned to winter in 2023, our club purchased 108 new coats to distribute to refugee children, served by Project Worthmore. The coats were purchased through Operation Warm which is a national nonprofit that manufactures brand-new, high-quality coats and shoes for children in need. "The Community Navigators are distributing coats! What a great thing to do for our refugee clients." Marlene Desmond, Project Worthmore Volunteer Coordinator. |

Project worthmore - yu meh food share program
Monthly Rotarians from the Denver Cherry Creek, Mile High, and Denver Southeast Rotary Clubs gather monthly to help pack groceries for our refugee neighbors. These Rotary Clubs supported Project Worthmore throughout the pandemic with funding to purchase basic staples such as rice, flour, pasta and beans for about 360 refugee families. Rotarians continue to pitch in every month to package groceries and make deliveries to help those families and welcome them to our community.

April 2023 This spring, members of the Denver Cherry Creek Rotary Club got to show their creative and handyman skills, sprucing up an apartment at Providence Network ’s Joy House, a two-year transitional housing facility for women and children recovering from domestic violence. We cleaned, painted, laid flooring, acquired furnishings, and generally made the apartment feel cheery and welcoming for its next residents.
