COMMUNITY SERVICE
operation warm
Operation Warm is a national nonprofit that manufactures brand-new, high-quality coats and shoes for children in need. Our club purchased 96 new coats to distribute to the Metro Denver refugee community, served by Project Worthmore. Families are getting coats before the cold of winter arrives!
"Our clients are thrilled with the coats, as are we. We have had a couple of large families through last week, with six kids each! They were able to find a coat for each of their children...These moms were so happy to head home with a bag full of coats for their kids." Anne Kedl, Project Worthmore Volunteer Coordinator
Village Exchange |
The Village Exchange Center in Aurora builds bridges between people and communities, both locally and globally. Each month, the Denver Cherry Creek Rotary club partners with members of the Denver Mile Hi Rotary Club to pack over 250 bags of fresh produce for the Village Exchange Center Pantry.
Please join us if you would like to help, too!

Project Worthmore serves an international community of refugees in Colorado. They operate an English acquisition program, a Dental Clinic, a Community Farm, and a Food Share program. Project Worthmore also provides community navigators and family partners to help refugee families become part of our local community. For more information visit projectworthmore.org.
Project worthmore - dental clinic
The Denver Cherry Creek Rotary Club was pleased to support the Project Worthmore Dental Clinic recently with the donation of a portable x-ray machine. Project Worthmore’s Dental Clinic provides comprehensive dental care to the refugee community and other neighbors wishing to support the clinic. The clinic serves about 25 patients, most of whom are on Medicaid, each week. In addition to the x-ray machine, the Denver Cherry Creek Rotary Club also donated over $600 worth of dental supplies to the Dental Clinic. These donations will help the clinic grow its practice to provide an important service to the community.

Food for families
PCs for people
PCs for People refurbishes desktop and laptop computers for distribution to eligible recipients. The Denver Cherry Creek Rotary Club has supported the organization by sponsoring drives for used electronics.
This year, our Club is subsidizing the cost of PCs for Denver Public School students participating in the Family & Community Engagement Program (FACE). The FACE program provides access to resources, information, education and support for everyone in the Denver Public School community.
"Rotary subsidizing the cost for the families is huge!" Caitlin Nelson, Partnership Manager at PCs for People
