How has Co-vid impacted Family Promise
Oct. 13, 2020 7:00 a.m.
Family Promise of Greater Denver, founded in 1997 as the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Denver, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization independently associated with a national organization comprised of more than 200 affiliates in 43 states. In 1997, a small group of compassionate individuals saw the unmet needs of families experiencing homelessness within the Denver area. This group met with Karen Olson, the founder of Family Promise, an organization started in 1988 in Summit, NJ to serve children and their families in need of housing. Soon this group recruited 10 faith communities to shelter families in the Greater Denver area for a week at a time in their facilities. In 2014, Family Promise of Greater Denver (FPGD) began to notice families were returning to shelter, more and more people were moving from out of state without a safe place to call home, and families were being displaced from housing. FPGD began to expand programs in order to accommodate these increased needs. Through a spectrum of supportive services, we walk alongside families from surviving to thriving. |

Hands of the Carpenter
Nov. 03, 2020 7:00 a.m.
The Good Neighbor Garage Program provides vehicle-related services for low-income single mothers and women in need. Our goal is to remove the obstacle that unreliable transportation presents as women strive to be self-sufficient, maintain jobs and/or training, and care for their families.The aim of the Good Neighbor Garage Vehicle Placement Program is to support single women in need on their road to self-sufficiency. One way we do this is by placing vehicles with qualified recipients. We understand that having a reliable vehicle to get to school, a job, medical appointments or the grocery store can open up opportunities and doors that didn’t exist without a car. |

Tragic Legacy of Colorado’s Japanese Internment Camp
Jan. 12, 2021 7:00 a.m.
When John Hopper was growing up in Las Animas, his mother worked at the local hospital with a man named Emory Namura. Hopper heard people mention that Namura, an administrator, was a former resident of a nearby Japanese internment camp during World War II, yet as far as Hopper could see, no such place existed. He also never learned a thing about the long-gone outpost in high school, and it was only briefly mentioned during a history class he took at Colorado State University. Hopper returned to eastern Colorado to teach social studies at Granada High School, about 50 miles east of Las Animas, in 1989, and he couldn’t shake the mystery of the facility. So he asked a few students to help interview Namura about what is officially called the Granada Relocation Center. Namura, in turn, put a face on one of America’s most inhumane acts. |

Tippy Taps
Jan. 26, 2021 7:00 a.m.
A light-hearted name for simple devices that significantly reduce the spread of deadly diseases. A group of concerned Guatemalan citizens “Los Buenos Vecinos” (The Good Neighbors) are improving the health of their communities by making and installing Tippy Taps - practical, affordable, sustainable handwash stations - and teaching WASH (water and sanitation hygiene) protocols. Studies show that daily use of Tippy Taps combined with WASH training reduces influenza and diarrhea by 47%. Diarrhea is the major cause of malnutrition and the highest cause of death in children under 10 yrs. 74% of Mayan children have chronic malnutrition. COVID-19 makes handwashing more urgent than ever. Rotary Clubs and individual Rotarians in Flathead Valley and across Montana would love for you to join us as we help Los Buenos Vecinos supply School Tippy Taps, towels, soap, and WASH training for thousands of children in the coastal highlands of Guatemala! Our immediate project goal is to install 50 School Tippy Taps in 26 schools. Our fundraising goal of $22,000 will complete the installations and provide contingency funds for liquid soap should government supplies be deficient or unavailable. |
