As a CPCD bus rolls into a Colorado Springs neighborhood, it is a symbol of a day filled with learning, friends and fun.  In a time of community crisis, a CPCD bus is a symbol of stability for families.

Our Neighbors

Along the routes our buses travel each day, families are now staying at home.  For many enrolled in CPCD programs, jobs have been lost or hours severely cut back.  Many live paycheck to paycheck and lack the resources to prepare and protect their families.  Stocking up on food and supplies is impossible.  Learning tools and activities for their little ones would simply be a luxury.

Family Advocates are working with CPCD families to navigate community resources that are experiencing long lines and wait times.  Together, we can fill the gap as they wait for assistance.

Stability

You have supported our work to prepare vulnerable young children and families for success in school and in life.  Today, we turn to you to help them regain stability in a very trying time.  Working together, we can deliver the essential needs for families to make it through the crisis and gain the skills to rebuild their lives.  Fill the Stability Bus!

We also have additional items our families have identified as specific needs.

Giving Tuesday Now

Our goal is to raise $20,000 by the end of the day on May 5, 2020! Why May 5th? It's #GivingTuesdayNow! A day where people all over the world commit to do good! The COVID-19 Crisis has expanded this world-wide movement, encouraging members of each community to give where you live. 

Doing good for CPCD families looks like providing basic supplies, living expense assistance, and learning tools so children can continue to thrive! You can help us provide everything a family needs to find health and stability during this time!
