    Option 2 - Stanley Marketplace

    The Stanley Aviation building sits right by the former site of the original Denver airport’s main runway. Stanley originally began with a couple of neighbors who wanted to open a small beer hall. Through a series of fortuitous events, their initial idea grew into something much larger: a community-focused marketplace featuring 50+ independently owned Colorado businesses under one fantastic roof. Stanley aims to be a place for all of us to enjoy. We're in a quirky and interesting location, smack in the middle of two different neighborhoods, and we plan on being a positive force in both.

    Feed the Hunger

    Feed the Hunger knows every child wants to succeed, but many just don’t have the resources they need. Without proper nutrition and education, it’s easy for them to feel defeated. But we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow and learn. So how do we make this happen? By using our reliable partnerships, we identify vulnerable children at risk of starvation or malnutrition, provide immediate nutritional resources and invest in their long-term success through education.

    But we can’t do it without you. We welcome everyone to help us pack meals and distribute them according to need. By serving together, vulnerable children can know what it’s like to have full bellies, engaged minds and real hope in their lives. A child needs you. Be the difference.
