Our Most Important Fundraiser of the Year
FIRST 200 DONATIONS MATCHED TO DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!
Colorado Gives Day is The GrowHaus’ biggest fundraiser of the year. The success of our Colorado Gives Day Campaign helps establish programmatic budgets and determine the number of people we will be able to serve in the year ahead. This year, we have an ambitious goal to raise $70,000, and our most committed donors are matching the first 200 donations!
This month, we saw the power of our community in action. With the help of our most passionate supporters, we activated our Temporary Emergency Food Assistance program and distributed an additional 10,000 pounds of fresh food to over 1,000 neighbors impacted by the government shutdown. Looking ahead, we know that the rising cost of living and new SNAP eligibility requirements are leaving more community members searching for food from a very limited and strained charitable food system. We are continuing to support our neighbors who are dealing with the ripple effects of losing food benefits, as well as those who have been experiencing food insecurity long before the shutdown, through food access and wellness education initiatives.
This Colorado Gives Day, you have the opportunity to invest in community-led solutions and have your gift doubled by a few of our most passionate supporters! When you choose The GrowHaus as your Colorado Gives Day partner, you will provide immediate access to fresh food and support the career pathways of our community led team.

The GrowHaus is deepely imbedded within Denver's food insecure communities and has been a beacon of community resilience, leadership, and transformation since 2009.
Our community led team understands the intricate layers of food insecurity, so our approach transcends food distribution and addresses the root causes of food insecurity by providing education and economic opportunities for all.
Originally serving the Latino immigrant communities of Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea, The GrowHaus is sharing its expertise to expand fresh food access and is now managing 25 food access sites across the City of Denver via partnerships with Denver Public Libraries, Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, Tepeyac Community Health Center, and other community hubs.
The GrowHaus connects 7,000 neighbors each month with fresh, culturally meaningful food. The reliability of fresh food bridges the nutrition gap and creates additional capacity for our neighbors to engage in other enriching wellness programming. Our Community Wellness and Engagement team leads home visits, multigenerational and youth education programs, and health and wellness classes throughout the year, fostering healthy habits and community connections.
