CareConnect Receives $15,000 from The Denver Foundation!

CareConnect announced today it has received a $15,000 grant from The Denver Foundation.

CareConnect promotes the security, comfort, and independence of seniors and adults with disabilities through free and low cost Safety-Net Services.

“In these tough economic times the need for our services has never been more apparent,” said Maureen Ewing, Executive Director of CareConnect. “This grant allows CareConnect to continue to provide much-needed services to the underserved in the community.”

CareConnect provides free grocery shopping and delivery, minor home repairs (including weatherization services, fall prevention, DTV converter box installs, and energy kits), as well as escorted rides to medical appointments.

The Denver Foundation is a community foundation dedicated to improving life in Metro Denver through philanthropy, leadership, and strengthening the community. Community foundations are endowments—permanent pools of money contributed by donors to benefit a specific geographic area. In 2009, The Foundation awarded $38 million to nonprofit organizations.
