If you are in need of food assistance we are here to help. We provide food sacks for the homeless, small families, large families and beyond.
Tuesday, December 10th is Colorado Gives Day
where thousands of people come together to support Colorado nonprofits like Pueblo Cooperative Care Center. It is Colorado’s largest day of charitable giving and we have a goal of reaching $30,000 in donations with this year’s annual event. Every contribution helps! It can be as small as $5.00 or even $5,000 or greater. If you like who we are, what we do and how we provide services to residents in Pueblo County; help us in making a difference by offering your support. It is crucial to our programs as we are the largest emergency need crisis center serving all of Pueblo County. Our services reach into 19.6% of the households in Pueblo County and include food, clothing, basic hygiene needs, medical prescription assistance, emergency transportation and vouchers for Colorado ID’s, driver’s licenses, birth and death certificates.
YOU CAN OFFER YOUR SUPPORT AS EARLY AS NOVEMBER 1ST BY SCHEDULING A DONATION IN ADVANCE!

Pueblo Cooperative Care Center is one of several Enterprise Zones designated by the State of Colorado. Colorado residents who make qualifying gifts to our organization are eligible for a generous tax credit of up to 25% to use against their state income tax for donations of $250 or more, or 12.5% for gifts of appreciated assets, such as stocks and securities. The Colorado Enterprise Zone Tax Credit reduces the amount of state tax you pay in addition to Federal and state charitable deductions you receive for gifts to charity. You can nearly double the size of your gift without increasing your net cost, and you will positively impact the community in which you live.
