Why give?
​
Winter is known as the “giving season” where charitable and philanthropic efforts increase and organizations like ours are able to provide for those in need. As we move into summer our client's needs change and we shift our donation asks to represent what those is our community most require. Whether you donate food, money, street food kits, or hygiene kits, we always need your help. 

The organizations on East Colfax have always been a collaborative and compassionate community. Lots of people talk about problems, but we’re all about being part of the solution. That is why we would like to partner with you.

You can help on an individual or group level. Both offer the rewards of helping others and having a personal sense of accomplishment. With generous support from the community, AWTN is ensuring families and individuals meet their most basic needs. By partnering with people like you, we are helping to break the cycle of homelessness.

Donations keep us afloat throughout the year. In 2020, the pandemic has hindered us in many ways but as the nation suffers from job and income loss, so has our ability to raise money. Every dollar helps.
