The Denver Foundation Gives A Grant To Parker Task Force

The Denver Foundation has given a grant of $15,000 to the Parker Task Force for our 2007/2008 fiscal year. The Foundation wrote the following:

The Parker Task Force for Human Services has a twenty-year history of providing emergency services to residents of Douglas County*. PTF is an impressive all-volunteer agency, which enjoys broad community support and support of the local government. PTF has support from many segments of the Douglas County community. PTF leverages resources in numerous creative ways in order to serve families in crisis. These services are provided in a caring and respectful manner. PTF embodies the spirit of volunteerism. We applaud the leadership of PTF for role modeling effective and committed volunteerism.

*PTF serves families in the Parker, Elizabeth and Franktown areas, as well as unincorporated areas by zip code.

PTF is profoundly grateful for the support from The Denver Foundation. The need for our services continues to grow. The growth over the 2006/2007 fiscal year is 45%. It is our mission to prevent homelessness and assist families in crisis. This is only possible with the generosity of organizations such as The Denver Foundation and our most caring and committed community.
