Welcome to the 16th Annual Foothills United Way's Day of Caring
Day of Caring is one of the largest one-day volunteer efforts annually in
Boulder and Broomfield counties. Local volunteers are paired with nonprofits to
complete a variety of much needed projects. 2008 was a record-setting year
for Day of Caring, with more than 900 participants donating
nearly $73,000 worth of volunteer time on one day!
Get Involved. Any company, community
group, social group or individual interested in making a difference can
volunteer for Day of Caring. All volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
UNITE your organization. Day of
Caring volunteers provide thousands of hours of service and valuable skills to
agencies in our community, allowing those agencies to serve more clients more
efficiently.
For your business or organization, Day of Caring provides a simple, effective
and highly visible way to demonstrate strong corporate citizenship, community
leadership and a culture of philanthropy. It also provides great teambuilding
opportunities for employee groups - something outside the office to collaborate
on and feel good about.
Sign up. Choose a project. Make a difference. Day
of Caring volunteers can take part in a wide variety of projects. Some may
deliver meals to homebound persons, or help glean crops that will be used to
provide fresh vegetables to those in need of food. Some may help organize files
in a health clinic or repair and repaint a building that provides emergency
shelter. From construction to landscaping, from human service to arts and
crafts, there is something for every volunteer - something that will make a
lasting impact on many lives.
Boulder County Advocates For Transitional Housing
Agency Details:
Boulder County Advocates For Transitional Housing
BCATH provides transitional housing coupled with supportive services to individuals and families whose life experiences have led to homelessness and/or the need for emergency shelter in order to enhance their ability to live independently.
Description:
BCATH aims to address the distinctive needs of each family and individual participant in the program in order to assist them in reaching the highest level of independence and personal responsibility that they may achieve. Transitional housing and supportive services are provided for up to two years. Clients are not charged more than 30% of their monthly income for rent. The goal is to obtain the resources necessary to secure permanent housing at the end of their time with BCATH.
Through supportive services, participants are taught how to successfully access the resources they need. The housing provided by BCATH gives a solid foundation to participants while navigating their way to positive life choices. BCATH owns debt free, 8 one-bedroom condominiums and 4 two-bedroom condominiums in the City of Boulder.
History:
Representatives from member organizations of BCATH have devoted up to nine years to the project to ensure success and provide a crucial bridge in the continuum of care from homeless to self-sufficiency. The member organizations of BCATH include: Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence, Mental Health Center Serving Boulder and Broomfield Counties, Center for People with Disabilities, Safe Shelter of St. Vrain Valley, Emergency Family Assistance Serving Boulder and Broomfield Counties, Boulder County AIDS Project and the Integrated Treatment Court of the 20th Judicial District of Colorado.
