A room full of neighbors, community partners and supporters who believe every family deserves the opportunity to thrive. ❤️

That’s how we celebrated the grand opening of the Joan Leprino Community Corner at Mile High United Way last week.

Brought to life by a group of generous investors, including a $1 million gift from Mary Leprino and her family, this new space will provide the families we serve with fresh food, hygiene products, cooking supplies and connections to resources that can help them build a stronger future.

The center is named in honor of Joan Leprino, whose generosity and compassion will continue to make a lasting impact for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this space possible. And a special thank you to our speakers, Damon Barry, Christine Benero, Mary Leprino and Nermina Mujkanović, for sharing what this space means to our community.

Volunteers are needed year-round to help support the Community Corner. Learn more about how you can get involved: https://bit.ly/4cXA8Qv

We're still reflecting on the incredible impact of our annual Back to School Bash.

Thanks to the generosity of our volunteers, donors and community partners, over 900 local students received backpacks filled with essential school supplies, giving them the tools they need to start the school year with confidence.

Watch the video to hear Chelsea Carver share what made this event so meaningful.

A special thank you to our sponsor, Vectra Bank Colorado, for your unwavering partnership and commitment to expanding educational opportunities for students in our community.

Together, we're helping ensure every child has the resources they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

This year, our Back to School Bash helped more than 700 students head into the new school year with confidence and excitement!🏫🍎

Each child received a new backpack with grade-level school supplies, then spent time making crafts and creating memories with their families. Some of the sweetest moments came from watching little faces light up as they picked out the perfect backpack or carefully chose the color of their very first highlighter. Those small choices may seem simple, but they help kids feel seen, prepared and excited for the year ahead.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered your time, donated supplies or organized a school supply drive! Because of your generosity, hundreds of students are starting the school year with the supplies they need. 🎒

Special thank you to TruBlu Images for capturing these joyful moments!

We're proud to officially introduce The Joan Leprino Community Corner at Mile High United Way, made possible by a $1 million gift from Mary Leprino and her family.

Named in honor of Mary's mother, Joan Leprino, the Community Corner provides a welcoming space where families can access fresh food and connect to resources that help them navigate challenges, build stability and move toward greater opportunity.

We're deeply grateful to Mary Leprino and her family for their extraordinary investment in our community. Through The Joan Leprino Community Corner, Joan's legacy of generosity and compassion will continue to make a lasting difference for children and families for generations to come.

We're excited to officially cut the ribbon and open our doors later this summer.
