Volunteers for Community

Volunteers for Community Enriching lives and celebrating nature in southern Colorado. Welcome to our page! Some of us volunteer a few hours a year, and some a few hours a week.

We're a bunch of friendly Southern Colorado folks of all ages, kids to seniors, who enjoy finding new ways to help out in our communities. We have more than 20 projects in three counties. One of them is sure to fit you! We help in elementary school classrooms, collect and distribute food, clean highways, make gifts for vets and others, recycle cardboard, and work in the community gardens we sponso

r. We have a huge gift-giving party every Christmas - this year we gave bags of presents to 76 Southern Colorado kids. Our dues are $5 and five hours of volunteering a year. You'll find more about us, and a more complete list of our doings, on our website, www.volunteersforcommunity.org Also, please consider a tax-deductible charitable contribution to Sangre de Cristo Volunteers for Community. We have no administrative overhead, since we are all volunteers! Your contribution goes directly into the communities we serve.
