Watch Gavin (age 12) explain CCCF to kids for the Kids for Colorado Gives program

Colorado Gives Day is the largest online giving event of the year! Last year, more than $50 MILLION dollars was raised for Colorado charities. Please consider scheduling your donation today through ChaffeeGIVES.org

Janes Place was featured on the October 20, 2021 segment of Word of Thanks, with Kyle Clark. Kyle’s segment, highlighting this important project, prompted hundreds of donations, big and small, in support of Jane’s Place.

We are thrilled with the outpouring of public support and positive feedback from Kyle Clark’s program.
