DENVER INDIAN CENTER – WORKING WITH OUR INDIGENOUS BROTHERS & SISTERS
 
Past Rotary work with the Denver Indian Center.
 
Since 2010 Rotary clubs in District 5450 have contributed to the work of the Denver Indian Center (DIC) located in southwest Denver on Morrison Road. This work has included assisting with fundraisers; providing used clothing; redoing the playground; contributing funds for Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets; helping to develop and providing food and equipment for the DIC food bank; contributing Christmas presents and wrapping them for distribution to children; handing out Christmas presents to children and providing a Santa and Mrs. Clause at the time of gift giving; starting and staffing, with the DIC staff, the first 9 Health Fair at the DIC; inviting the DIC Director to speak to their club about the DIC’s work, and much more.
 
Current needs of the Denver Indian Center. The DIC would be very grateful for assistance from Rotary clubs which can include:
  1. Books for children selected from a book list to be provided by the DIC.
  2.  Cash contributions to be used to purchase Thanksgiving and Christmas envelopes containing a $50.00 gift card and a coupon for $25.00 for a Butterball Turkey to be given to hungry families in the vicinity of the DIC and throughout the indigenous community. Checks to be made out to the Denver Indian Center and sent to 4407 Morrison Road, Denver, CO 80129 with notation of purpose, “Thanksgiving and Christmas giving” on the memo line of the check.

UKRAINE - HOW YOU CAN HELP
 
In response to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, the Rotary Foundation has made available the Disaster Response Fund as the main avenue for contributions. District 5450 recommends utilizing the Rotary Foundation so that you can be assured your donations will be distributed through safe and reliable sources. We also encourage you to "sign in" when asked to the Rotary site so that you, and your club, will be recognized for your donation.
