100% of all money raised through Quarters for Kids goes to help feed children and families staying at the Volunteer's of America's Brandon Center and the Catholic Charities of Denver Samaritan House.

About the Brandon Center:

Volunteers of America runs The Brandon Center, an emergency shelter for homeless women and children and those seeking refuge from domestic violence. The center offers individual and group counseling, parent education, domestic violence education, housing referral assistance, a children’s program, GED classes, and employment skills assistance. Every woman receives case management and develops a case plan with her assigned case manager; the length of stay is determined by the needs of each woman or family.

The Brandon Center is currently housing 71 women and 29 children, most of which are elementary school aged.  The Brandon Center serves about 1200 women and children annually. For more information, please call 303-297-0408
