Caring Connection Moves into Habitat for Humanity Space
17-Dec-2010
Caring Connection has found affordable office space at the regional headquarters of Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver. Habitat for Humanity listed their available space on the Denver Shared Space Project website in May, 2010 and Caring Connection listed their space needs in June, 2010. This summer, it became clear there was an easy match between Caring Connection's space needs and Habitat's available space. The space is located at 3245 Eliot St., 1 block east of Federal at 33rd Avenue (near Speer and Federal). The property was remodeled in 2009 and features new paint, carpeting, large windows, wheelchair lift, and handicapped accessible bathrooms. There is conference room space and a large meeting room that can accommodate up to 379 people. A kitchen was added as part of the remodel.
Caring Connection raises financial support for human service agencies by helping donors directly support local organizations they know and trust. It is comprised of 58 nonprofit organizations that serve the needs of Colorado's most vulnerable people. During the 2009 Fall campaign drive, Caring Connection raised $580,788 for their 47 member nonprofit organizations.
Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver is a homeownership program for hard-working, low-income families in need of a safe and affordable home. In Colorado, Habitat was founded by volunteers in 1979, and since then, the organization has built 395 homes in the Denver metro area, housing over 1,700 people. They are recognized as one of the finest affiliates in the country, and were honored as the National Affiliate of the Year in 2005.
