Community Builders Spotlight!

👏 Thank you, Rotary Club of Castle Rock

We are incredibly grateful to the members of the Castle Rock Rotary Club for welcoming Aging Resources of Douglas County to share our vision for the future of aging well in our community.

The thoughtful questions, engaging conversation, and genuine interest in how we can work together to support older adults in Douglas County were truly inspiring.

We are especially thankful for the Club's generous $2,000 gift to our New Building Fund.

Their investment is helping create more than a building. It is helping create a welcoming community hub where older adults will find support, connection, education, and encouragement for years to come.

As we prepare to open our new home this fall, we're inviting other businesses, civic organizations, foundations, and community groups to join Castle Rock Rotary in making a lasting impact. Together, we can create a place that helps thousands of older adults continue to live with independence, dignity, and connection.

If your organization would like to learn how you can be part of this transformational project, we'd love to start the conversation.

💙 Together, we're creating more than a building—we're investing in the future of aging well in Douglas County.

Rotary Club of Castle Rock does so much to strengthen our community through both financial support and hands-on volunteerism. Their annual Palisade Peach Sale helps fund local scholarships, youth programs, and other vital community initiatives.

It's a win-win—enjoy some delicious Palisade peaches while supporting projects that make a real difference right here in our community! 🍑

It isn't really summer in Castle Rock until the peaches arrive. 🍑

Tree-ripened Palisade freestone peaches from Colorado's Western Slope, delivered fresh — the kind you eat over the sink.

And every box stays local. This is Castle Rock Rotary's biggest fundraiser of the year: your peaches fund scholarships for Douglas County students, youth programs, and service projects right here in town.

🍑 18 lbs — $55 | 9 lbs — $36

📅 Order by Tuesday, August 4 · Pickup Sat, August 15, 10am–2pm, Douglas County HS

We're creating a place where older adults can find support, connection, education, and encouragement.❤️

But we need your help to create this space that will be more than a building.

When Aging Resources Founder & Executive Director Karie Erickson started Aging Resources, her vision was simple—to help older adults remain independent, connected, and engaged in the community they call home.

As Douglas County's older adult population continues to grow, so does the need for our services. That's why we're creating a new community hub designed to serve older adults today and for generations to come.

Please take a few moments to read Karie's letter to learn why this project matters and how you can help make it a reality.

Every gift—large or small—moves us one step closer.

🎉 Thank You, E-470 Transportation Safety Foundation! 🎉

We are honored to be one of 13 nonprofit organizations selected to receive a grant this year from the E-470 Transportation Safety Foundation. E-470 Public Highway Authority supports transportation safety and charitable giving through the Foundation.
No grant funding comes from E-470 toll revenues, instead they are raised at golf tournaments and other fundraising events put on by the Foundation.

The Foundation supports high-impact community programs and local high school initiatives.

This grant will help Aging Resources continue providing no-cost transportation and other essential services that empower older adults in Douglas County to age with independence and dignity.

Thank you to the E-470 Transportation Safety Foundation for investing in organizations that make a meaningful difference in our communities. We are grateful to be among this year's recipients!

🍃❤️ Making a Difference, One Yard at a Time ❤️🍃
A huge thank you to the volunteers from Connect Church for spending part of their Day of Service helping older adults in our community!

This dedicated team tackled major yard cleanup projects at the homes of two Aging Resources clients, transforming outdoor spaces that had become difficult to maintain. Their hard work not only improved the appearance of these properties but also helped create safer, more accessible environments for the homeowners.

Acts of service like these help older adults continue living independently while maintaining pride in their homes.

We are grateful for the generosity, compassion, and servant hearts demonstrated by the Connect Church volunteers. Your willingness to give your time and energy made a lasting impact on two of our neighbors.

Thank you for showing what community is all about! 🌿🏡

If you or your group would like to volunteer contact Aging Resources at 303-814-4300
