MISSION STATEMENT

 

Giving Hearts is a philanthropic committee of the HTC Women’s Club, created to selflessly serve our neighboring communities through partnering with a 501c nonprofit. 

 

 

 A PRECIOUS CHILD

 

Our inaugural organization is A Precious Child whose mission is to “provide children in need with opportunities and resources to empower them to achieve their full potential.” A Precious Child focuses on every aspect of a child’s development…from Cradle to Career and from home life to social activities and schooling.  

 

Basic essentials and services are provided through the main Empowerment Resource Center in Broomfield and 8 counties are served.  The Resource Center offers family services aimed at guiding and supporting families as they work towards achieving self-sufficiency. There is a cost-free store for eligible families stocked with clothing, food, home goods, toys, books, diapers and baby essentials.

 

In addition, A Precious Child has programs focused on the social and emotional well-being of the child (i.e. arts, sports, holiday gifts, mentoring) as well as providing educational support, such as computers, calculators and tutoring. There is also a Precious Perks Workforce Development program that provides work-based learning to young adults 15-24.

 

Some statistics for 2022 regarding the families served:

 

• 26,203 children and 2,809 adults were served in Adams County

• 21% of families have experienced homelessness within the last year

• 29% of families have someone in the household diagnosed with a disability

• 92% of families make at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Level

 

The donation and volunteer opportunities are numerous and the opportunity to make a difference is enormous.

​

ACTION PLAN 2025

 

Giving Hearts plan is to donate products and/or volunteer with A Precious Child on a quarterly basis.  Coordinating with A Precious Child on what will most likely be needed each quarter, the following is our tentative schedule:

 

1st Quarter…donation drive for pantry and hygiene products, both items of great need. Drive to be held February 12th – 26th.

 

2nd Quarter…group volunteering at the Broomfield location of A Precious Child scheduled for May 5th (9-11am) and May 13th (11am-1pm). Carpooling to the facility from the Clubhouse to be scheduled with the possibility of a group lunch afterwards. Sorting through in-kind goods (mostly clothing) will most likely be the
volunteer need at the time.

 

3rd Quarter…donation drive for school items in conjunction with A Precious Child’s Fill A Backpack program. Exact Dates and items to be coordinated with A Precious Child as the time approaches.

 

4th Quarter… group volunteering at the Broomfield location in late November/early December to help sorting and bundling gifts in conjunction with their holiday Precious Gift program.

​

If additional needs arise during the year, we will consider providing donation or volunteer support on a case-by-case basis.

All bins for donated items to be provided by A Precious Child.
