Artists Generously Turn Out To Support Growing Home's New Home Project

Artistas locales, nacionales e internacionales han contribuido con obras de arte a la campaña "Un nuevo hogar para Growing Home".

Denver, 18 de junio de 2023 - Growing Home, una organización sin ánimo de lucro del norte de Denver, atiende a diario las necesidades de nuestras comunidades menos representadas y más afectadas con comida, vivienda, educación para padres y apoyo para lograr la estabilidad a lo largo de la vida. Tras un encuentro casual con una mujer que vivía en su coche con dos perros a las puertas del hospital St. Anthony North, donde trabajaba, la enfermera Kathleen Drozda fundó la organización para atender las necesidades de las familias que habían perdido su hogar o corrían el riesgo de quedarse sin vivienda. Ahora que celebra sus 25^º años de operaciones, Growing Home necesita unas instalaciones más grandes con más capacidad para almacenar Comida, congeladores adicionales, espacios privados para las familias y zonas de reunión de la comunidad para atender mejor las necesidades de la comunidad del norte de Denver.

En junio de 2023, Growing Home inició la campaña "Un nuevo hogar para Growing Home". to raise funds to make the dream of a new facility a reality. To kick it off, local, national, and international artists were invited to donate artworks to "Art for Growing Home", a new event supporting Growing Home's mission. The response has been overwhelming and over 150 pieces of art, photography, and jewelry have been donated for this art auction that will be held at Raices Brewery, 2060 W Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80204, on August 4, 2023, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

Carli Seeba, Co-CEO said, "We hoped, yet could not have predicted, the tremendous response from our artists' community. We have artworks across all styles for our silent and live auctions and we are grateful to our contributing artists from the Denver area and other geographies."

As a community-centered organization that serves a population that is 99% low-income, 90% women, 81% people of color, and 67% Latinx, Growing Home continues to evolve to serve the increased demand for services. "As we look to the next decades of Growing Home, we are excited that our community is offering this amazing support to help us move into a larger space in 2024 so we can better serve families," Seeba said.

Growing Home's programs and services support self-sufficiency and stabilization for low-income individuals and families experiencing barriers to success so they can stay housed, have access to food, acquire life skills, and thrive. Growing Home's leadership and staff reflect the community and are uniquely positioned to serve their needs. Growing Home's team offers participants cultural connection, bilingualism, and a safe space to hold conversations on their immediate needs and long-term goals. https://growinghome.org/.
