Today's Date
  Auraria Campus Spring Fling
ERS will be represented at the annual Spring Fling. The two day event is scheduled for Wednesday, April 22nd and Thursday, April 23rd, 2009. The event will run from 10:00am to 4:00pm each day on the new platform between the Plaza and the Tivoli Student Union on the Auraria Campus.

More Coats Needed
The Coats For Colorado distribution helped, but we still need more, especially coats for children.  With the weather getting colder the children that recently arrived from warm countries are experiencing our harsh Colorado winter. Please help in gathering coats of all sizes for these kids. We still can use adult coats as well, any size. They may be dropped off at our office Mon to Fri 9 to 5.

Your Donations Needed to Help Refugee School Children
ERS is accepting donation of school supplies as well as backpacks for the newly arriving refugee children. We always accept cash donations from those people who are unable or don't have time to purchase these school supplies and other needed items - volunteers will do it for you. This can be a tax write off for anyone requesting a tax form. Contact Genevieve Cruz at 303-860-0128 x1112  if you need your donation items to be picked up and delivered to the children.

Volunteers Needed
 Ecumenical Refugee and Immigration Services is looking for Volunteers to help with various tasks but mostly with a once a month Food Bank distribution. The distribution is held on the third or fourth Thursday of the month depending on how it falls. This project is designed to aid our Refugees who have not yet received food stamps, due to a 45-day waiting period. I encourage all interested parties to get involved. This can be a group of people or just an individual with free time on their hands. Take note, this job involves some lifting, boxes of food but mostly canned goods etc.

The hours will be from 1:30 TO 4:30 P.M. Please contact Genevieve Cruz at 303-860-0128x1112
