Throughout May, you can support the women and children who are patrons of The Gathering Place, Denver’s only daytime drop-in center for women and their children who are rebuilding their lives. We will be collecting personal hygiene items, both regular and travel sizes. Items needed are: toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, body lotion, and women’s personal hygiene products. Wellshire has been a partner agency with the Gathering Place for more than 30 years. To learn more, please visit their website.
Bring your gardening gloves, rakes, and trowels to the Wellshire spring garden cleanup! No gardening experience necessary, and children are very welcome. Contact Kathleen Eckert, keckert@wpcdenver.org, with questions.

The LoVVe Project provides these kits to their clients several times a year. Please buy the size(s) you would use for your family: laundry detergent, fabric softener, hand sanitizing wipes, liquid dishwashing detergent, sponges, general purpose cleaners in spray bottles and cleaning cloths.
Join the Rev. Katie Robb Davis on a field trip to the labyrinth at the Old Elitch’s Carousel Pavilion. We will meet at the site, walk the labyrinth, and have a short meditation.
