Shining a light on the people and places that make Archway so special.

A Message from our Chief Executive Officer

Welcome to Archway's December Newsletter. Our theme for this month focuses on Giving, and what we can do to support those in need of our help, which of course is what Archway is all about. Later this month, Georgeanne Barrett, Archway's Director of Philanthropy, shares her thoughts about giving and gratitude and how these two ideas can work together to promote our collective health and wellbeing, In brief, below are a few of the things that we are grateful for at Archway:


  • I am pleased to announce that we raised $5,375 through 20 donors on Colorado Gives Day! Thank you to all of the donors who supported us! Our appeal goal of $25,000 will last through the end of the year, so if you didn't get a chance to donate for Colorado Gives Day, you still can donate through our website below.
  • On behalf of our residents, Archway received another donation of 500 coats and winter accessories from Coats for Colorado.
  • Kenzi's Causes, a local non-profit that supports underprivileged children and their families in Colorado, donated crafts for 200 kids at Archway, replenishing our supplies that always seem to be running low!
  • Thank you to the Spring Institute for Intercultural Learning for donating 75 gift cards to Walmart, each at $200, for our families at Arapahoe Green!


We are grateful for all of our partnerships for their support of our work and the way they expand our ability to better serve our residents!


Finally, along with Georgeanne's Thought Leadership piece in two weeks, I am proud to say we will share Archway's Impact Statement for 2022, which summarizes the work we do to create affordable housing communities we provide and the residents we serve.

In the News

We want to give a big thank you to the Spring Institute for Intercultural Learning for donating 75 gift cards to Walmart, each at $200, for our families at Arapahoe Green! This is part of an initiative to provide more financial assistance to families for essentials like groceries, household items, and clothing given the current effects of inflation. We are so grateful for our partnerships, allowing us to better serve our residents!

We are a very grateful recipient of a Wellness Grant from The Colorado Health Foundation in the amount of $20,000. This specific grant is focused on employee well-being, and the funding must go towards the organization's employees. In the spirit of putting team members first, we have planned a session with our internal Culture Committee to discuss ways to allocate these funds that would best meet the needs of our team members.

This month, thanks to both Kenzi's Causes, a local non-profit that supports underprivileged children and their families in Colorado, and A Precious Child, a non-profit that provides children in need with opportunities and resources, we received crafts and gifts for over 500 children at Archway!

The Importance of Community at Flats at Two Creeks

Annie, Supportive Services Coordinator at Flats at Two Creeks, couldn’t be more excited to share about her residents.

 

“I love them so much, they’ve been so great to work with,” she says. And while her words were genuine, it was easy to see the truth in them through her acute observations of her residents’ growth and connection to one another.
