The Village Castle Pines Garden Club is a nonprofit organization and does more than tend gardens...through the Garden Club’s Community Outreach Committee we work to nurture and grow programs and projects throughout the community that are committed to serving those in need.
The Garden Club, through our Charity Outreach Committee, donates to the Crisis Center and
Help & Hope Center - Douglas/Elbert Task Force. |
The Douglas/Elbert Task Force Help & Hope Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit human service organization dedicated to providing assistance to people in Douglas and Elbert counties who are in serious economic need, at risk of homelessness, or in a similar crisis. We address immediate needs by consistently providing food and other necessities for homeless, low income and the working poor in our community. We meet these challenges with over 250 volunteers, three full-time and ten part-time staff.
