Sara Brown primarily assists families and foster families involved in the child welfare system, adult protection system and individuals receiving a form of public assistance, populations we know are Denver’s most vulnerable, by providing small grants of assistance that support stability, health and well-being.
Keeping kids involved in pro-social and extracurricular activities such as camps offered during school breaks, after-school clubs and sports. Funds can be used to pay registration fees, supplies and equipment.
We assist with the cost of ordering/re-placing documents essential to individuals moving forward with services, job searching or other needs.
Families struggling financially often prioritize rent, car insurance, gas, food and other immediate needs and end up behind on utility payments. Sara Brown can sometimes assist with the utility costs.
There are times when families need extra help to afford prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, soaps, lotions, and treatments. Eyeglasses and first aid kits are needs that arise.
Food banks are used for families in need, but there are times when additional assistance is needed beyond what food banks or SNAP assistance can provide.
Families may need assistance to cover a variety of needs. We help provide items like work clothes/uniforms, home safety proofing, furniture, etc.
The Sara Brown Memorial Fund helps Denver’s most vulnerable population by providing small grant of assistance that make a significant difference in improving stability, health, or safety. The children, adults, and families we help come to us in times of desperation. Many are overwhelmed, in distress, or are struggling with their day-to-day finances. Many have not had heat for weeks at a time, cannot afford to buy a pair of eyeglasses, get a cavity filled, struggle to buy a quart of milk, or are on the brink of homeless. During these times, they turn to Sara Brown Memorial Fund for help.
We are proud to have worked with so many families in the Denver area, here’s what a few of them had to say.
