Donations from Colorado Springs car dealership go to help new Family Success Center
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO)-- The Larry H. Miller Dealerships are donating $10,000 each to Pikes Peak United Way and Angels of American's Fallen.
On Wednesday the first check went out to the United Way. The money will help benefit two of their programs, one of which is the new Family Success Center opening next year. The Center will take a multigenerational approach to help families and children in Southeast Colorado Springs on life improvement. It will offer reading tutors, financial literacy, GED courses, and art therapy.
"We want to be there for those families that are working two jobs, for single moms, and parents who have multiple jobs trying to get by with their families. These folks are working really hard they just need a little extra, and this center we hope is going to be a place where people can access resources they don’t even know about," said Cindy Aubrey, CEO of Pikes Peak United Way.
"When you look at the work that they’re doing with family services, I mean they’re going into the corridor of the city that has the greatest need and is most impoverished and they’re helping these people with basic mental health needs and housing to give them the stability they need to make them successful," said Bill Stahelin, general manager at Larry H. Miller Toyota Colorado Springs.
The Center won't officially open until August 2022, but they will start families in the program in November.
