Colorado FriendShip released its 2022 Annual Report today presenting the successful accomplishments of the year in our community programs helping those in need.

Longmont, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/19/2023 -- Colorado FriendShip released its 2022 Annual Report today presenting the successful accomplishments of the year in our community programs helping those in need. Liz Friedenson, Executive Director, shared that "COF responded to the historic, major natural disaster of the Marshal Fire on Dec 30, 2021. More than 1080 homes were lost and estimated total damage surpassed $2 billion."

Mrs. Friedenson continued that, "We determined the best way to help would be to raise funds and provide gift cards for basic needs of families who lost their homes. Our COF friends and donors were very generous and we were able to distribute $19,700 in large gift cards to over 50 families!"

With our IncrEdibles program we supplied bags of healthy, kid-friendly food to 600 food insecure children at 11 local schools every week during the school year. Our weekend food program provided relief for these children and their families, ensuring that they had some nourishment and could focus their limited budgets on other needs. The end goal is to avoid the experience of children returning to school each Monday morning hungry.

Our Meals on the Street program continued to serve the homeless in Boulder for the 24th year. Every Sunday, we served a hot home cooked meal, clothing and supplies to those who attended. Colorado FriendShip served 2,417 meals and distributed over 4,700 items of clothing throughout the year.

Our Mission at Colorado FriendShip is to reduce suffering and improve lives throughout our community by providing food and clothing to those in need. We answer this critical need in the community and beyond through three programs. The IncrEdibles Program provides weekly food bags to children at elementary schools in Boulder County, involving healthy, kid-friendly, nonperishable food sent home every Friday during the school year, providing six meals for the weekend. Since 1998, Hot Meals on the Street has served hot meals and distributed clothing to the homeless and destitute in Boulder County, serving thousands of meals each year to those in need. Our Emergency Disaster Relief program has been responding to support disaster victims since 2003.

The heart and soul of Colorado FriendShip are our volunteers. Several hundred people have stepped forward during the past years and embraced our mission to better their community. Volunteers support a whole variety of functions and events including food servers, drivers, trailer preparation, cooks, food inventory and packing, and clothing drives and sorting.

The USDA reports that in 2021, 33.8 million people lived in food-insecure households, 8.6 million adults lived in households with very low food security, 5.0 million children lived in food-insecure households, and 521,000 children lived in households in which one or more children experienced very low food security.

Longmont, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/04/2022 -- Colorado FriendShip would like to sincerely thank all those who donated funds or gift cards to help many families devastated by the recent Marshall Fire in Boulder County. Because of this wonderful generosity, the COF Disaster Relief Program was able to distribute a total of over $18,000 in gift cards to 48 families or households.

Shortly after the Marshall Fire on Dec. 30 that burned over 6000 acres and destroyed more than 1,000 homes – Colorado FriendShip geared up its Emergency Disaster Relief Program focusing on funding a Disaster Relief Gift Card program to help those impacted by the fire.

Colorado FriendShip has a history of Disaster Relief reaching back to 2003 when assisting the community to rebound from the devastating Jamestown Fire. Since then, COF has brought aid to disaster victims of Hurricane Katrina in 2005; the tornado in Holly, CO in 2007; the Windsor, CO tornado in 2008; the Four Mile Canyon Fire in 2010; the High Park Fire in 2012; and the Front Range CO floods in 2013.

In 2012, COF began our "FriendShip Ambassador Project" (for out-of-state assistance) as we made friends with PS 104Q (The Baywater School) in Far Rockaway, NY to help assist the surrounding community which was hit badly by Hurricane Sandy.

Our Mission at Colorado FriendShip is to reduce suffering and improve lives throughout our community by providing food and clothing to those in need.
