The Pregnancy Center is in need of volunteers for clerical assistance, the boutique, and a maintenance worker for occasional jobs. Please call Lori @ 719-505-4752 if you are able to help. Thank you!
Did you know the Canon City Pregnancy Center receives no government funding and operates entirely through the generosity of our community? As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all donations are tax-deductible. Your financial support makes it possible for
us to continue the life-changing work we do every day for local families. One of the most impactful ways you can help is by becoming a monthly donor. A recurring gift provides steady, reliable funding that allows us to plan ahead and serve more families with confidence.
Now, more than ever, we need your support. Please consider giving-and help spread the word about the important work being done here.
Thank you!
Stori Thompson, Executive Director
Loaves & Fishes accepts donations throughout the year to help families in our community, but during the cold months their need is always greater. Each month we are asking for you to shop at the store or in your cupboards for non-perishable food to help stock the Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry.
We have received the following information from DeeDee Clement, the Executive Director of Loaves & Fishes.
Fremont County has a team of folks who conduct regular outreach to those who are sleeping outside. Every night in Fremont County there are at least 250 individuals who are sleeping outside or in places that are considered uninhabitable. At least 65 of them are children. We are collecting the items listed below. Items will be distributed by outreach teams.
Items can be dropped off at Loaves and Fishes Ministries, 241 Justice Center Road.
Coats, hats, gloves, hand warmers, heavy socks, thermoses, tents, tarps, sleeping bags, blankets, new pillows, $20 gas cards (for individuals sleeping in their cars).
If you prefer, you can bring items to the church office between 9 am & noon, Monday-Friday, and Ava will deliver them to Loaves & Fishes.
The Loaves and Fishes collection theme for May will be SNACKS: Ideas might be bars, crackers, PB crackers, fruit snacks, fruit squeeze packs, and popcorn.
As always THANK YOU SO MUCH
Mercy Today Ministries has an immediate need to help replenish their Food Pantry, here in Canon City. They’ve seen a significant increase in the number of people they serve and would greatly appreciate donations of the following items: Canned Vegetables, Ramen Noodles, Mac & Cheese, Canned Tuna, Saltine Crackers, Toasted Oats Cereal, Canned Pork & Beans, Peanut Butter, and Jelly. Please note that individually wrapped and smaller serving sizes are preferred over bulk items, for distribution to more people. Donations can be dropped off at First Christian Church (16th & Franklin).
