Colorado Gives Day Tomorrow

Not particularly food-related (although you can find some great opportunities to support those in need of that), tomorrow is Colorado Gives Day, a day in which you can focus on donating to those non-profits of your choice that make this such a great community. Details and donating can be found on their website.

Colorado Gives Day

I love that in the midst of the gift buying frenzy we have Colorado Gives Day, an opportunity to step back and reflect on those wonderful organizations deserving of your support. This year it will be this Tuesday, the 9th, and they make it easy to donate on the Colorado Gives website. If looking for something food-related, they make that even easier with a Food, Agriculture and Nutrition category you can click on if you choose the Search by Cause option. Giving is the best way to get good holiday spirit in return.

Tomorrow Is Colorado Gives Day

Every day is a good day to support your favorite Colorado nonprofit organization, but tomorrow the 10th is Colorado Gives Day, a special push for recognition of the fine work they do.  You can find all the details, select specific nonprofits for your generosity, and make your donation on their website.  Last year, Coloradans donated over $15 million dollars within 24 hours.  That's impressive and makes a real difference to nonprofits like our local Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (where we received such kind treatment when a baby raccoon with distemper turned up desperate for help at our front door), the Colorado Music Festival, and the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.  For foodies, among others there's Boulder's own Growing Gardens, a program promoting sustainable urban agriculture, including youth involvement in local food production.
