The 12th Day of Thankfulness


"Thanks to you and all who have participated in 12.12.12! 

Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor (Proverb 22).

Your continuing inspiration encourages us to see others with eyes of love. I truly believe that with education, advocacy and the collaborative services needed, local hunger will someday be eradicated."

Most gratefully,
Lynne Butler
Executive Director  




"Thank you all for the mounds of food brought in from 12.12.12. Your efforts were essential in raising the food and funds needed to continue our fight against hunger. From the families and all of us at Metro CareRing, thank you for your generous and faithful support!"

Best Regards,

Ellie Agar
Volunteer & Community Relations Manager




"Combined with what you've collected in-house, your contributions make for a substantial gift!!  Again, thank you so much for all your support this holiday season.

Gratefully,
Ryan Galanaugh
Deputy Director
 



Thank you for a wonderful year from all of us at Metro CareRing! MCR is the largest hunger relief organization serving families in Denver, and the amazing work done in 2012 was possible because of your support. We rely on faith communities and individuals for a quarter of our income and would not be able to open our doors without your volunteer assistance. Thank you again and we hope you will keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we begin this new year!

  • 153,457 services provided to 19,141 families in need
