Here’s what is coming up at Restoration Outreach Programs (ROP)!
Colorado Gives Day is coming up soon on Tuesday, December 4th. You can wait until the actual day, 12/4, to give, but you can also schedule your donation now so that your donation is received on 12/4. If you would like to schedule you donation now, simply hit the “Donate Now” button which will take you to ROP’s page on the Colorado Gives Day website.
On this page you can enter your donation amount, make a designation, and answer some optional questions. The important thing to schedule your donation for Colorado Gives Day is to make sure you check “CO Gives Day” under “Donation Frequency”.
Your donation on Colorado Gives Day will help ROP serve a very needy community in northwest Aurora and east Denver and also help us benefit from the CGD bonus pool of $1.0 million.
Thanks for your consideration and support.

I’ll make this quick. ROP and our friends with Flourish East Colfax expect to serve Thanksgiving dinner to as many as 900 people from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, 11/17, at Crawford Elementary School. And it may be more than 900 since all 500 families at Crawford Elementary and many others from our community are being invited by the 7 organizations of Flourish East Colfax.
Our hope and prayer is that God would provide the perfect balance between the food provided and the people coming to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Based on the report I just received from our Thanksgiving Dinner coordinator, Vicki Ekberg, I am pretty sure we have not achieved the supply and demand balance we are hoping for. According to Vicki, this is where we currently stand:

As you can see, many of the items with which we need the most help are among the easiest to prepare. All we are asking is that our cooks bring their item heated and ready to serve in disposable aluminum serving pans sufficient to serve 25 people. (more is okay :-). And if cost is an issue for anyone, we are more than happy to reimburse you from funds others have donated in support of the event. You just need to save and give us your receipts.
With November 17th just 6 days away, we are obviously hoping and praying that many more of ROP’s friends and supporters will feel led to partner with us in making this dinner a tremendous success.
If one of those people is you, I encourage you to contact Vicki as soon as possible. She will be very happy to answer your questions and confirm the item or items you would like to prepare. Email her at:

Thanks for your consideration and support.
