Community Shares Holiday Shopping List

Many Community Shares nonprofits partner with local stores and restaurants. All you have to do is shop and gifts will be made to the community on your behalf.

  • Senior Housing Options has partnered with Poppies Restaurant and 20% of your meal total will be donated to SHO!
  • Big City Mountaineers (one of Cshares 2008 Momentum Award winners) has partnered with The North Face Store in Cherry Creek for a movie night and silent auction. Chill with a free beer, brat and take in some sick mountain footage while supporting young Denver mountaineers.
  • Looking for a unique gift this holiday? Willow, an Artisan's Market located in Boulder and Littleton is having showings and receptions to showcase birdhouses decorated by local artists. The proceeds of each sale go to Flatirons or Denver Metro Habitat for Humanity.
