Sheltered by Compassion — Highlighting Organizations and Nonprofits Dedicated to Supporting the Unhoused
“Working on the Sheltered by Compassion project has been transformative and enlightening. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to highlight remarkable organizations across Northern Colorado, from Fort Collins to Denver, and to meet countless inspiring individuals along the way. My hope is that this project not only raises awareness and dismantles stigma but also inspires others to engage in volunteerism and advocacy in their own communities.” - Annie Hessler
