HOW
YOUR GIFT WILL HELP WOMEN AND CHILDREN
As the only daytime center for women and children in Denver, The Gathering
Place could be the one place where a woman finds the resources that
can help her. Every day we see 200–250 women and children.
Your gift will directly and immediately influence the lives of women
struggling to make better lives for themselves and their children.
Meals, showers, telephones, safety—these are pressing needs for
families on the streets.
When you support The Gathering Place, you ensure that every woman
has a place to go when her world is falling apart.
HOW
TO GIVE TO THE GATHERING PLACE
Give Online: Make a gift to The Gathering Place online
through the secure site at JustGive.org. JustGive.org is a non-profit
organization whose mission is to connect people with the charities
and causes they care about and to increase overall giving. Your contribution
will directly fund the daily operations of The Gathering Place and
ensure that our doors are open for women and children in need.
Donate
Your Used Car: If you have a car, truck, van, RV, motorcycle
or boat that you would like to get rid of, consider donating it to
The Gathering Place. We work with Vehicles for Charity, a nonprofit

The Gathering Place Endowment Fund
was established in 1991 with a generous bequest from a supporter.
The Endowment Fund is distinct from The Gathering Place and is governed
by a separate board of trustees. The purpose of the fund is to generate
revenue for The Gathering Place operating fund and to ensure our long-term
financial future.
Our Supporters
The
Gathering Place Association is a 400-member volunteer organization
that works to support The Gathering Place mission. The Association
produces fundraising events to support the financial goals of the
agency; they conduct food and toiletry drives to directly benefit
the women we serve.
The Gathering
Place Partners and the Shelter From Harm Circle are two
groups of community members who believe that women and children deserve
a safe and caring place to re-establish their lives during times
of homelessness and poverty. Through a gift of $2,000 or more each
year, The Partners ensure that The Gathering Place continues to be
a viable community resource. The Shelter From Harm Circle acknowledges
supporters who have contributed $25,000 or more in a lifetime. Members
of these groups are recognized through participation in special events
and projects of The Gathering Place. For information about The Gathering
Place Partners or the Shelter From Harm Circle, please contact Brenda
