Comeback Yoga
Comeback Yoga is a Denver-based 501(c)3 non-profit that delivers free yoga classes to help military personnel, their families and supporters develop resiliency in response to their life experience that may include post-traumatic stress.
Comeback Yoga also provides relevant master teacher training for its teachers to enable them to offer yoga classes best suited to the military community. Comeback Yoga's other mission is to offer scholarships for Yoga Teacher Training to veterans, active duty, and their partners who are interested in becoming yoga teachers themselves.
We envision a world where military service members and their families have the tools and support they need for healthy, resilient living before, during and after their service to our country. Comeback Yoga will continue to work toward that goal.

Ninos del Sol
In the heart of Peru, there’s a small group of incredible young people who are defying the odds in life. They are the youth of Niños del Sol, a children’s home that has grown into a beacon of hope and transformation in the Sacred Valley.
Society tells us that these Peruvian orphans should expect nothing more from life than hand-me-down clothes and a cot to sleep in. But at Niños del Sol, we believe in something different.
We’re raising them as a family, offering them a bright, comfortable home, a quality education with music, yoga, and language instruction and lots of love. We also provide a second, semi-independent home where they can stay beyond their 18th birthday while they pursue a college education and launch a career.
Our results speak for themselves. As they grow up, most of our kids are graduating from college and going into adulthood as professionals. They’re breaking the cycles of poverty and abuse in their families forever.
In just two short years — March of 2025 — our youngest kids will be in college and our work will be done. But we can't get to that finish line without your help.

Grassroots Farmers
Grassroots Farmers is a collective of farmers and farm organizations cultivating the next generation of growers.
We are in start up phases and finalizing a land lease to expand our farm operations. Ideally we are looking for a more permanent home to build Adobe farm mentor living quarters, host farm retreats and educational classes out on the farm!
We are community focused farming with no till and better than organic practices linked with farm education, everything from saving seeds to homeopathic animal husbandry.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between farmers and their communities through backyard farm installations, education and lawn conversions into native indigenous perennial meadow plants - to where we aim to become!
Jerry Powell Fundraiser
“TEACH...ALWAYS TEACH....IF YOU MUST USE WORDS"
These are the words from a very kind and wise man by the name of Jerry Powell. He is a local resident in our community and the business owner of Castlerock Woodworks. He is also the man and family that we have designated as our "meaningful cause" to support for the months of February and March 2023.
We are planning an exciting event in March and will share the details shortly, but until then if you would like to read more about Jerry's story or "pay it forward" by contributing now, you can access the link below.

They provide services that "foster recovery and resilience in children, adults and families struggling with mental health conditions and substance use disorders." Last year they provided treatment for 34,000 people in Colorado.
Believe in Haiti
During the months of December 2021 through May 2022 we had the honor of contributing to Believe in Haiti and supported four children in Haiti for a year, providing them with uniforms, school supplies and food.
Imagine a place where water is not safe to drink, food is scarce and expensive, poverty presents itself at every corner, and families are extremely vulnerable to natural disasters.
This is Haiti.
In the wake of the tragic earthquake of 2010, most Haitians and their families are still struggling to rebuild their lives. The devastation of this historical event only amplified the destitution and poverty of the people.
But Haiti is resilient! And We Believe in Haiti!ftion and poverty of the people.
But Haiti is resilient. And we Believe in Haiti.
Project Worthmore
Project Worthmore was our first organization to support from August 2021 to November 2021. We donated over 25 loving gift baskets for their mothers at Christmas. The baskets included gloves, hats, lotions, and chocolates. We also contributed towards their canned goods program and school supplies.
Project Worthmore was founded in 2011 by Frank and Carolyn Anello as a response to the acute need for the assistance of refugee families in their community.
From their start offering makeshift English classes in living rooms, they now have over six comprehensive programs to thousands of refugee clients. Over half of their staff are from the refugee community, which helps them to better listen, empower and support those who have come there to rebuild their lives. Strategically located off east Colfax, Project Worthmore is in the heart of the refugee community and therefore easily accessed by their clients. Their team and impact continue to grow as they play a role in supporting people during the worst refugee crisis since World War II.
