Build
for Peace is our most effective fundraiser and we need and appreciate
your support in this event!
We look forward to two work-a-thon events every fall. (Work
times will be announced in the fall but volunteers plan to work
from morning until early afternoon on your elected workday.)
Build
for Peace is an excellent opportunity for you to get out into the
Denver community, contribute to a meaningful project and help DJPC
in the process. It is also a great way to meet other DJPC members
and volunteers! For those of you who are not familiar with B4P,
please see the purple box to the right to learn how it works.
LUNCH
IS PROVIDED AND PRIZES AWARDED FOR THE TOP FUNDRAISERS FOR EACH
WORK DAY!
We
hope you can join us for this meaningful, fun and exciting fundraising
event! Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have
any further questions.
If
you cannot participate in either workday, please consider sponsoring
and soliciting others to sponsor a Build for Peace participant through
contributions to: DJPC, 901 W. 14 th Avenue, Suite 7, Denver, CO
80204. (Make tax-deductable checks out to "DJPC Education
Fund" Please write Build for Peace in the memo line.)
WE
HAVE WORKED WITH:
Family Tree (Sept 16th) provides shelter and services
to families and youth of metro Denver so they may overcome domestic
violence, homelessness, child abuse and other family crises.
Since 1976, Family Tree has provided a broad range of services to
help families and youth of metro Denver to overcome such obstacles.
Family Tree's mission is to help people be safe, strong, and self-reliant.
Family
Homestead (Oct 21st) has provided emergency and transitional
housing, and supportive case management exclusively to homeless
families with children in Denver for the past 26 years. Family Homestead
houses clients in individual housing, preserving the integrity of
family life; develops individual case plans with each family to
support them in their journey towards a sustainable life; works
actively with each parent to secure permanent housing, develop and
