HEALING PEOPLE AND THE PLANET

At EarthLinks, we believe nature holds the power to transform lives and build community. For more than 30 years, we’ve been providing a safe, supportive environment where individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty can find purpose, healing, and stability. Through earth-centered programs, our participants re-connect with nature, themselves, and each other as they nurture our garden, create eco-friendly products, and gain skills, dignity, and a sense of belonging.

This Colorado Gives Day, you have the power to change lives and nurture our planet. Join us in creating a more sustainable, compassionate world—one seed, one soul, one community at a time.

Meet Our Community:

Participants are the heart of EarthLinks and include creative, passionate, and incredibly resilient individuals. Many are talented artists, some are curious naturalists, and all contribute a wealth of knowledge and life experience to our community. Along with their strengths, participants carry numerous challenges; all are living below the federal poverty level, currently or at imminent risk of experiencing homelessness, and facing a myriad of complex and intersecting challenges. The majority are living with disabilities and over age 50, and more than half identify as survivors of domestic violence and BIPOC. Many also identify as devoted family members, passionate leaders, empowered survivors, and supportive friends.

"You get out of this program what you put into it. I'm proud to say that I work here, I represent. EarthLinks is more than just a garden- it's family, it's support, it's people who love me even when I didn't love myself, and my family didn't at that point either. I wouldn't be where I am without this community, I don't even know if I would be alive."

"EarthLinks has been therapeutic for me with hardships that I go through. It helps being able to come here and get away from my thoughts for a while, do something different, and to lose myself in something else instead of worrying about things. When I am feeling my worst, that's when I come here because it makes me feel better about my life, and I can face another day."
