Last night SECOR hosted our first technology class for guests. This class teaches basic computer skills and gifts a refurbished laptop to each participant who completes the modules. We want to say a big thank you to Comcast for funding the curriculum, and all of our community members who have donated their used laptops. We could not do this work without incredible partnerships. If you or your company is getting rid of used computers, consider donating to them to SECOR!

About us
SECORCares is a 501c3 non-profit located in Parker, CO, but serving Arapahoe, Douglas and Elbert counties. Our mission is to help those struggling with suburban poverty. The loss of a job, divorce, mounting medical bills, underemployment-things that happen every day in our community–can devastate a once comfortable home and family, and thrust them into suburban poverty. SECORCares offers a free food market where our guests can "shop" for their families and select those foods that they enjoy. We also assist with financial assistance, legal aid, counseling, job search assistance and more, all with the goal of helping our guests get back to self-sufficiency again. Most importantly, we offer community, and help restore dignity and hope in their lives! As part of our outreach, we offer other programs as well to our community. o Food for Thought is our weekend backpack program where we partner with schools to provide bags of food to children on free or reduced lunch programs, or who are otherwise food insecure. o Our Mobile Market is just that, our market on wheels! Fresh fruits and veggies, meat, dairy and non-perishables can be driven to virtually any location and will feed ~100 families for 2 weeks. o Community of Hope is a program offered to our guests who would like some life coaching/life management assistance, including personal or financial counseling. How can you help? • Donations-both monetary and food are always in need. • Volunteer-in the market, the warehouse, driving, packing bags, Events, etc. • Events-participate with us at one of our events throughout the year and help us raise much needed funds. • Spread the Word-Please share who we are and what we do with everyone! The person standing in front of you may need SECOR’s help, but may be reluctant to tell you. By sharing our story, our mission, you could be the difference between their continued struggle and self-sufficiency. Speak up, even if they don’t!

SECOR'S Mobile Market will be on site at the NW Aurora Neighborhood Resource Fair this Saturday at Colfax and Havana, serving those impacted by the recent Walmart closure at that location. The nearest full service grocery store is now 6 miles away for a predominantly pedestrian neighborhood. #caregiving #givingback #jointeffort #supportthecommunity

Six years of feeding those in our community that cannot get to SECOR's Free Food Market! The first run with our Mobile Market was six years ago and fed 75 households. Last week we were on the Community College of Aurora campus's serving nearly 200. This would not have been possible without Christian Brothers Automotive. And now we have refrigeration units, thanks to King Soopers, improving our guests' experience. #jointeffort #bettertogether #servingourcommunity
