Parker Task Force recently received a grant for $13,000 from Post-News Season To Share to fund our general program of homeless prevention and the management of a food bank. These services provide for families in the Parker, Elizabeth and Franktown areas (by zip code).

The 2007/2008 Post-News Season To Share campaign raised a record-breaking $2,197,500 that was distributed to 65 Denver area non-profit agencies. For 15 years, Post-News Season To Share has raised charitable donations that are matched and disbursed to local non-profit organizations serving children as well as those who are homeless, hungry or in need of medical care. Funds are raised through reader, community and corporate donations, and each dollar donated is matched with 50 cents by the McCormick Tribune Foundation. The Denver Newspaper Agency and the McCormick Tribune Foundation pay all administrative costs, allowing 100% of donations to go directly to charitable organizations. In total over the past 15 years, the campaign has raised and distributed over $21,000,000.

The 100% volunteer Parker Task Force will use its Post-News Season To Share funding to support the ever growing need for services in our community.
