Our goal is to support our Elbert County neighbors through our trade skills, labor, donated food, various items, occasional fundraisers, and numerous community events. If you or someone you know could benefit from a helping hand, reach out to us today!
In 2023, we were officially recognized as the largest non-profit organization in Elbert County, Colorado. It was our most dynamic year yet, bustling with projects and volunteering initiatives. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed throughout the year and eagerly anticipate an exhilarating 2024. Here's a glimpse of the significant projects and events accomplished by the Dads of Elbert County in 2023.
Throughout our collaboration with the Crisis Center, we've engaged in diverse initiatives aimed at bolstering organizations dedicated to aiding victims. Our involvement has been multifaceted, spanning activities ranging from delivering essential food supplies, conducting vehicle repairs, renovating homes and group shelters, to overseeing security audits and camera installations. Additionally, we've extended our support by providing light maintenance services to multiple non-profit organizations that share similar missions, both within Elbert County and across the metropolitan area.
The DOEC also provided both labor and expertise to aid a local family in constructing a new staircase and installing an electric chair to accommodate their daughter's specific needs. Additionally, the Dads of Elbert County generously volunteered their time multiple times to assist the local wood bank in splitting wood for those in need.
In 2023, we completed various noteworthy projects, including post-flood cleanup within our community following a historic flooding season. We also lent a hand by assisting in cooking at the BBQ during the Kiowa Museum Pioneer 4th celebration and aiding in Thanksgiving dinners for the EHS community event.
Our efforts extended to assisting a family with fence repairs and fire mitigation, supporting an elderly couple with furniture relocation, and constructing preschool furniture for Running Creek Elementary. We organized a successful car wash fundraiser for the Espinosa family and provided a single mother with a substantial load of firewood. Additionally, we dedicated time to performing basic household tasks for an elderly woman in need.
We actively contributed by dismantling banners and corral panels at the Kiowa fairgrounds and participating in events such as the Sheriff’s Christmas Event and the mayor’s tree lighting ceremony. We were involved in community events like the Meat-In at the Elizabeth Meat Locker Plant, The First Responder Event, and the Friday night markets with Elizabeth Brewing Company at Running Creek Park.
Furthermore, several members participated in Elbert County Emergency Preparedness training and actively supported efforts during the Simla fire. All of them became members of the Disaster Volunteer Team (DVT), contributing to first responder rehabilitation and shelter location operations.
