Dear Friends,

It goes without saying that 2020 has been an unprecedented year for our nation and our community. Our hearts break for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we find hope and purpose through the Black Lives Matter social justice movement. As an essential service provider for Denver, I am so proud of our staff, who have worked tirelessly to offer our services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in creative and socially distanced ways.

While we do not know what 2021 will bring, we do know that CTR services will remain available (both in-person and virtually) and free of charge. Our services provide critical assistance that help survivors become thrivers. Since 1987, your gifts have helped us serve over 215,000 people and distribute over $1.2 million in financial assistance.

Please support our efforts by making an end-of-year, tax-deductible contribution. As always, 100% of your contribution benefits those we serve. Thank you again for your continued support.

Cathy Phelps, M.A., LCSW
Executive Director
