Volunteer Spotlight! 🧡
In March, over 35 volunteers joined COLOR to build over 100 hygiene kits for recent migrants in Denver. Without them, we could not have packed these kits with essential supplies like laundry detergent, pregnancy tests, emergency contraceptives, and sunscreen. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped us make these kits possible, especially those who donated supplies and Legacy High School volunteers who brought over 10 volunteers to our event!
Do you have an opportunity you want to share with COLOR? 🗣️ Meet with our staff to talk more about how you see yourself making an impact in our community. To learn more, contact jennifer@colorlatina.org.
