GIVE Denver
OUR MISSION
GIVE Denver's mission is to instill hope and a brighter future to Denver's underserved community through
donations and with the assistance of volunteers.
ABOUT GIVE Denver
GIVE Denver is a program of Denver Human Services that leverages contributions, volunteers, and community
partnerships to bring hope and happiness to foster children, the homeless, and the City’s most vulnerable
communities. The GIVE Denver program has three main components:

The GIVE Denver Center, located at the Richard T. Castro building at 1200 Federal Blvd. in
Denver, uses volunteer resource navigators to connect underprivileged individuals and families
in crisis to necessary essentials like diapers and wipes; shampoo, soap and other hygiene
products; and children’s pajamas. Our resource navigators also refer GIVE Center clients to
community-based service providers, including food pantries, clothing banks, utility assistance,
rental assistance and other lifeline resources.

GIVE Denver carries out three annual drives - the Spring Gift Basket drive, Adopt-A-Student
School Supply drive, and Adopt-A-Family Holiday drives - to provide gifts and supplies to
children and families receiving assistance from DHS. While DHS’ caseworkers and family
advocates partner with the courts, schools, foster parents and other caretakers to ensure the
safety and wellbeing of our clients, GIVE Denver’s drives provide an additional measure of
comfort that may be overlooked during times of crisis.

GIVE Denver supports events, campaigns and other efforts to prevent the abuse and
exploitation of children, the elderly, and other vulnerable populations; and to commemorate
milestones of children and families assisted by DHS, including family reunifications, adoptions,
and other key moments. GIVE Denver partners with corporate and individual sponsors to make
these efforts successful.
How is GIVE Denver funded?
GIVE Denver is supported solely through the use of volunteers and donations, with DHS & the City
contributing the 1,280 square foot space and two staff members who oversee operations.
Where GIVE Denver and what are the hours of operation?
The GIVE Denver Center is located at Denver Human Services Castro Building at 1200 Federal Blvd.
Denver, CO 80204. We are open Monday – Thursday from 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. based on volunteer
availability.
What DHS staff members oversee GIVE Denver?
Thomas Meiers, GIVE Denver Coordinator, 720.944.1170, [email protected]
Marv Allen, GIVE Denver Director, 720.944.2971, [email protected]
Opportunities for Involvement
GIVE Denver partners with corporate and individual sponsors to help secure various donations that will
support the success of DHS events. Typical sponsored events are those that prevent abuse and exploitation of
children, the elderly, and other vulnerable populations as well as events that commemorate milestones of
children and families assisted by DHS, including family reunifications, adoptions, and other key moments. All
donations are tax-deductible. Should you be interested in a monetary donation please click HERE or make
checks payable to GIVE Denver and mail to us at 1200 Federal Blvd. Denver, CO 80204.
GIVE Denver also accepts the following donations year-around: Gift cards to grocery stores, Diapers & baby
wipes, Baby formula, Pajamas and socks for infants & children, Hygiene products, Toothbrushes & toothpaste,
Deodorant, Shampoo & conditioner, Hair brushes, Duffel bags, backpacks & suitcases. All donations are taxdeductible.
We are always looking for volunteers to assist us in the GIVE Center and to help with special events and
projects that occur throughout the year. Should you be interested please email us with your contact
information and we will be in touch.
GIVE Denver Success Story
The GIVE Denver Center’s volunteer resource navigators helped a grandmother with five grandchildren who,
because of difficult life circumstances that forced the family to move from Florida, arrived in Colorado
homeless and without resources. The GIVE Denver program immediately connected the family with referrals
for housing assistance to move the family out of the car they had been sleeping in, food assistance to ensure
the children received regular meals before federal benefits could begin, and helped the grandmother enroll
her grandchildren in Denver Public Schools. Now the family is in permanent housing and the children are
flourishing in school.

Adult Protective Services
D
enver Adult Protective Services (APS) is a program of Denver Human Services that assists at-risk
adults who have been mistreated by another person or suffer from self-neglect. An at-risk adult
is anyone 18 years or older who is unable to care or advocate for themselves, or may have a disabling
condition.
The APS unit assesses cases and provides short-term and ongoing protection services for at-risk
adults. Our services seek to improve the health, safety and welfare of our clients, and ensure they have
food, shelter and other basic life necessities. We also help adults who lack the capacity to make or
communicate responsible decisions about their own personal affairs.
Allegations Warranting APS Involvement
• Abuse – Physical, Sexual or Self
• Self-neglect
• Caretaker neglect
• Financial exploitation
• Other exploitation
Voluntary Services
• Assessment in the home
• Assistance with obtaining benefits
• Assistance with housing resources
• Ongoing caseworker visits if risk continues
• Money management
• Crisis intervention
Involuntary Services

If you believe you are a victim or know someone who may need protective services, please call our
24-hour hotline at 720.944.2994. Callers are permitted to remain anonymous, however, we will ask the
following information about the victim: name, address, phone, date of birth, and current concerns about
the person’s situation. All reports will be assessed for appropriateness and to determine what level of
services are needed, if any.
