The Gathering Place and Betsy's Cupboard
This is Denver's only daytime drop-in center for women and children experiencing homelessness or poverty. It offers a safe daytime
refuge to women and children, and provides resources for self-sufficiency and opportunities to learn new skills. This supportive
environment allows these women to make positive life changes for themselves and their children. Learn more at their website: www.
the-gatheringplace.org. Several times a year, Denver Pi Phis serve afternoon snacks to the women and children, and gather items
to stock Betsy's Cupboard.
Champions Are Readers (CAR)
The Champions Are Readers program is a reading enrichment program designed for Pi Phi volunteers to help third graders read.
CAR improves reading skills, instills a lifelong love of reading and promotes family literacy. The Denver CAR program moved to a
new school last fall. We are excitedly planning for an October program at Cheltenham Elementary School! This is a fun and truly
rewarding program to be involved in as a Pi Phi Alumnae – so keep your eyes and ears open for all the details as we get everything
established with our new students.
