Success Stories

Joseph...

is an eight-year-old little boy who represents 12 in every 100 children living in poverty in the Pikes Peak region. Because of your support of Pikes Peak United Way, many of these children receive a nourishing breakfast, lunch and snack after school to help them grow physically and mentally. Through the Backpack Program at Care and Share Food Bank of Southern Colorado, one of our 42 Partner Agencies, children bring home a backpack filled with nourishing food to sustain them and their families throughout the weekend.

Brett...

is a developmentally disabled 42-year old young man, who has been with Cheyenne Village, one of our 42 Partner Agencies, for the past ten years. Today, with your support of Pikes Peak United Way, he is able to live in his own supervised apartment, cook for himself (he especially likes to make macaroni and cheese), go bowling and work at his job at the Sunflower market.

“B"...

is an 80-plus year old woman living on a limited income who, during one of the coldest months of the year, found herself unable to afford the cost of having her furnace replaced. Because of your support of Pikes Peak United Way, the Energy Resource Center, one of our 42 Partner Agencies, provided her a new furnace, fully installed, to keep her safe and warm.
