Season to Share Provides Hope
Once again, we're thrilled to announce the FBR recently received a $50,000 gift through Denver Post Charities, a McCormick Foundation Fund. A record-breaking $2,820,000 was distributed to 65 Denver-area nonprofits with funds raised through this year's Season to Share campaign. Since 1992, this program has raised charitable donations that are matched and disbursed to local nonprofit organizations serving our neighbors in need: low-income 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 at 50 cents by the McCormick Foundation. The Denver Post and McCormick Foundation pay all administrative and promotional costs, allowing 100% of donations, plus the match, to go directly to charitable organizations.
In total over the past 20 years, more than $32 million improving the lives of those in need. Food Bank of the Rockies will use its Denver Post charities funding to support our Fighting Hunger Feeding Hope program in Metro Denver. THANKS to everyone who made this outstanding gift possible!
