Thanksgiving Meals
As the season of gathering and giving begins, N2N is continuing its tradition of offering residents a Thanksgiving Meal Kit, so families can celebrate the holiday with a home-cooked meal. With the rapidly rising cost of food and gas this year, we are experiencing an increase in need - and we could use your help!

This year, we need to prepare 85 Thanksgiving Meal Kits by 12pm on November 18th. Whether you prepare one kit or team up with others to create multiple meals, each and every kit will be delivered to a family in need so they can celebrate Thanksgiving at home.

Each meal kit should be delivered in its own bag or box:

1. Green Beans (2 cans)
2. Cranberry Sauce (1 can)
3. Stuffing (box/bag)
4. Instant Mashed Potatoes (box)
5. Instant Gravy Mix (1 packet)
6. Dessert (such as boxed brownies or cake mix & frosting)
7. Disposable Turkey Roasting Pan
Let us know if you plan to participate!

"I suffered an injury that prevented me from working. I wasn't sure what to do - my whole family depended on me bringing home a paycheck. We submitted our application to N2N in the hopes that they would be able to help us with a month or so to get caught up. We were feeling so low and scared. The amazing staff at N2N helped us stay in our home and catch up on our bills. They treated us with care, respect and sympathy during this emergency that was causing us anxiety, stress and fear of becoming homeless. I cannot say enough how thankful and grateful we are."

Progress is loud and messy, but oh so beautiful!
With construction projects going on at multiple apartment locations, as well as the reconstruction and expansion of our Coachlight office and community building, there is never a dull or quiet moment at N2N!

Our rehab project has kicked into full gear. Over the next two weeks, we are moving a family a day - either into a temporary hospitality apartment so we can begin their apartment's rehab - or moving them back into their completely renovated home! We had to double the number of hospitality apartments we need for residents, so if you'd like to help us furnish and stock them with gently used items, please visit our urgent needs page for a current list.

During these very exciting and slightly chaotic times, we are open for business as usual and all N2N services and programs remain fully operational. If you have questions, you can continue to reach us at (970) 484-7484 or visit us during business hours at 1500 Blue Spruce Drive, Unit 67 (located in the apartment building across from the "front door" of our office that is under construction).

Our 2021-2022 Fiscal Year Report will be appearing in mailboxes in the next few weeks, but we don't want to miss the opportunity to share all of the good news and accomplishments with you today!
Current Volunteer Opportunities
Bus Stop Breakfast Volunteer
A short and sweet volunteer shift that is sure to brighten your day! We need a once-weekly volunteer (8-8:30am) to hand out breakfast to the kids before boarding the school bus at our Coachlight Plaza location. We provide the breakfast, and you can pick your day.

Santa for Resident Holiday Party
We have a special request for Jolly Old Saint Nick's help on Sat. Dec 10th at our N2N Resident Holiday Event. Can you help us fill these big shoes for this special day?

If you are interested in these or other volunteer opportunities, please email Volunteer Coordinator Peri at pmueller@n2n.org.
