PTF 2010 Golf Tournament
Because our business is booming and the growth in the town continues to escalate, space is at a premium. It won’t be long before PTF will have to find a new home. We are working in collaboration with the town to make this a reality. This means that for the first time in its history, PTF needs a Capital Campaign. This golf fundraiser will go a long way to help us fill the coffers. Please gather up your family and friends and join us in our efforts to remain in a viable position to continue to help those in our community who need us so desperately now and in the future. This is a feel good win win opportunity for us all. You’ll have fun, access to great golfing, prizes and a relaxing luncheon. And while all of that is going on, your heart will know that many others will "win" right along with you. Because they will be able to feed their families, stay in their home, use running water or turn on the heat and electricity now and in the years to come. What a wonderful way to spend a day. Foursome anyone? We truly hope you will all "give PTF a swing" and participate and do what you can to help us make this event a success:

STAY TUNED TO THIS CHANNEL FOR UPDATES AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Thanksgiving Dinners for Parker Task Force Clients To the Community, I want to thank the citizens of the greater Parker area who demonstrated generosity and kindness through their support of the Parker Task Force for Human Services (Food Bank). On Sunday November 22, an abundance of Thanksgiving Food Baskets were donated and delivered to the Food Bank by caring sponsor families. In addition, many sponsor families mailed generous checks or delivered cash donations to the Parker Task Force. Many of the area churches organized their members and donated baskets or money, as did youth organizations, clubs, and associations. The Parker Task Force provided Thanksgiving meals to over 500 families. We distributed food baskets first to the client families of the Parker Task Force. But due to the tremendous number of donated food baskets, we assisted several other programs with Thanksgiving food donations, including the Douglas County Women’s Crisis Center, the Elizabeth Food Bank, the Elbert Food Bank, Denver Inner City Parish, Samaritan House and Warriors in Transition (Ft. Carson). On behalf of all of the volunteers at the Parker Food Bank, we are grateful for the support from our neighbors and friends. Thanks to this community’s compassion, we are able to provide the helping hand to client families in need. More importantly, the client families tell us they appreciate the support. Sincerely,
NewDay Seventh Day Adventist Church (above) was the largest donor to the Thanksgiving Basket project. They contributed 137 food baskets. Many area churches and organizations contributed food baskets and money to this very successful program. On Sunday November 22, volunteers from Discovery Church helped PTF volunteers organize the donated food baskets. Also that day, the Youth Group and Leaders from Providence Presbyterian Church greeted PTF clients picking up food baskets and delivered the baskets to the clients’ cars.
Parker Task Force wishes to extend our tremendous appreciation to everyone who made the 2009 Thanksgiving program possible! We say it again and again, but that’s only because it’s true. We could not do this without you!

For many of our seniors, Rover and Felix are not just beloved pets but family members. Because the goal of the Parker Task Force is to take care of our families in need, that includes these boon companions. Therefore we are putting out the call for pet food!
Please no bags larger than 20 lbs. Canned food is fine as well.

Announcing The Parker Task Force Capital Campaign The Parker Task Force would like to announce that it is beginning a capital campaign. It is time to begin planning for new quarters. This is the only way that we will be able to continue to meet the growing demand for our services. Read more. PTF Needs An AED – Can You Help?
Unfortunately, the AED units are extremely expensive and PTF doesn’t have the funds needed to make this much needed purchase. Your donation to this fund, or a donation of the unit would be an awesome gift of life for PTF. Thank you for your consideration and help.
If you have some old cell phones, bring them to the Parker Task Force locations. The Task Force will recycle these old working and broken phones and turn them into much needed funds to help our neighbors in need from every neighborhood in Parker. In this struggling economy, the need for food and financial assistance has risen and we can all help. Share this message with everyone, collect from your neighbors or at work. This is an easy way to help and clear out some drawer space at the same time! Early or late donations will always be taken at the Parker Task Force. Questions?.....call 303-841-3460.
Stage Stop Cuisine Cookbook
To date Parker’s first community cookbook has raised $17,000 to help out the Parker Task Force Food Bank and $3,000 for the Parker Area Historical Society. The money was raised from the total proceeds of Stage Stop Cuisine – a cookbook that was produced by volunteers in the community to benefit the two volunteer organizations. Parker Task

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
CAROL
The Parker Task Force is planning their second annual golf tournament to
help raise money to continue the vital work they do in the community.
This 100% volunteer organization has been in operation for over twenty
years. With the kind assistance of the Town of Parker, that donates
space, maintenance and utilities, PTF is able to keep overhead at an
absolute minimum. 
We
also need Dog & Cat Food
Its hard work around here and it never seems to end. And, while it is
not always polite to mention a person’s age, some of us aren’t getting
any younger. As we all know from reading recent headlines, lives can be
saved when there is an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) to help
those experiencing a heart attack. AED’s keep people alive until
emergency personal can arrive at the scene to provide the needed care.
We Are Taking Donations Of Old Cell Phones
In addition to tasty recipes, the Stage Stop
Cuisine Cookbook features drawings and articles about Parker, Colorado area
history. Local artists and writers graciously volunteered their time and talents
for the historic renderings and articles. The recipes, from the community and
beyond, were tested and nutritional values provided by local volunteer ‘chefs’
and dieticians. 85% of the proceeds from the cookbook will be given to the
Parker Task Force Food Bank, a non-profit that assists area residents in need
and 15% to the
