Victoria Norton- Give Campaign
Give Pikes Peak is a nonprofit focused on investing in local philanthropy and supporting nonprofits in the Pikes Peak Region of Colorado. Each November and December, they run the Give! Campaign. During the campaign, they provide an easy and fun way for donors to support the causes in our community they are passionate about.
Heather & Karen- Wild Birds Unlimited
At Springs Ranch Memory Car, a glimpse of a bluejay, owl or hummingbird often sparks joy, comfort and conversation among residents, families, and staff. Wild Birds Unlimited installed a bird sanctuary outside the Ivy Dining Room windows. The new sanctuary is being dedicated in memory of former resident Raye Chavez and will feature bird feeders and a heated bird bath. On any given day, it’s likely to attract finches, robins, woodpeckers, and other local species. https://coloradosprings.wbu.com/
Amanda Koldenhoven – Samaritan’s Purse
After sharing the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus said “Go and do likewise.” That is the mission of Samaritan’s Purse—to follow the example of Christ by helping those in need and proclaiming the hope of the Gospel. Samaritan’s Purse sends gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to children in need around the world together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
