BOWL FOR A PRECIOUS CHILD IS SOLD OUT BUT YOU CAN STILL JOIN THE COMPETITION!

It’s not too late to support the Chief Challenge online for this friendly competition! This year, the Broomfield and Westminster Police Departments are competing against North Metro and Westminster Fire Departments. You can choose to donate to either Team Police or Team Fire. Whichever team raises the most funds wins, and the losing team’s chief has to bowl one round of bowling where the police chief is in fire gear or the fire chief is handcuffed.

STORY OF HOPE
Shanelle remembers the first time she stepped into our Resource Center. "I was blown away," she said. "I couldn't believe the amount of things I was able to get for my family. And not only how much, but the quality of the items too!" She and her boyfriend have four children together, ranging from two to 11 years old. Her two oldest kids have disabilities so she stays at home to give them the extra care they need. While the kids' dad has a full-time job, his work slowed down during the winter months and they found themselves struggling to afford basic essentials. That's when they were referred to us by one of our Agency Partners. Shanelle says her kids loved the clothes, toys and sports equipment she brought home. She was most relieved to be able to get diapers and baby wipes because those were the items she desperately needed for her youngest son. For Shanelle, asking for help felt intimidating, but that all changed after she met our Empowerment Center team. "They are so warm and welcoming. Every time I come in, this is such a friendly place."
CORPORATE SPOTLIGHT: WALMART
Walmart has been a supporter of A Precious Child for many years. Their enthusiastic teams volunteer on a regular basis, and collect items through various drives. Funding from local and national grant opportunities has allowed us to expand our programming to serve even more children in need. When Walmart associates volunteer, they bring expertise in their field, and what stands out is that they are immediately responsive when we have urgent needs; for example, they raised funds in just a few days in order to purchase teen gifts for our Precious Gift program during the 2019 holiday season. Thank you, Walmart, for helping us serve children in need in our community!
