My Nonprofit Reviews

Today Pikes Peak United Way (PPUW) is a thriving organization serving our community in many ways. From 2-1-1 offering free, confidential resources to over 30,000 residents a year, to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library sending books to over 7300 children a month, our focus is Youth Success and Family Stability. Having recently opened a Family Success Center in Southeast Colorado Springs, which offers Care and Share's Sunnyside Market, Harrison School District 2's Adult Education programming, Colorado Springs Sports Corporation's YES Program and much more, our goal is to provide job opportunities, family assistance and a place where southeast residents can find compassion, hope and resources. We currently serve over 300 families a week. In addition, through a partnership with Care and Share and School District 11, we provide food to hungry families through a mobile food distribution every other Thursday at Mitchell High School. Nearly 400 families are served with fresh fruit, vegetables, protein, bread, rice and beans. Pikes Peak United Way has established strong partnerships with our City and County government, as well as the Office of Emergency Management to prepare for natural disasters and catastrophic events. Residents in the Pikes Peak region can depend on PPUW to be there for all who call El Paso and Teller County home. Our Board of Directors are some of the most influential leaders in our community. They are involved and engaged, offering their time and talent to continue to build a strong, effective United Way.
