November 5...... this day frankly is bitter sweet. We are less than 30 days from the Help-Portrait Denver Event and we are yet to finalize a location. We are getting close but hopefully will get this done soon so we can get the next several steps in place.Help Portrait is "A Shift in Thinking......Help-Portrait is a global movement of photographers using their time, gear and expertise to give back to those in need.
Last year, Denver Help-Portrait served the homeless at the St. Francis Center in Denver. This shelter serves 700 homeless a day. Our day included an awesome team of over 66 volunteers. We offered hair cuts, make up and portraits. Our personal gift to the shelter was new socks for the community. This year we are looking to help a larger group, included with the homeless are, "Dress for Success", "Ronald McDonald House", "Safehouse Colorado", Colorado Coalition for the homeless" and many more. We welcome any and all volunteers. You don't have to be a photographer to be part of our special day of giving back. Last year we were on headline news, CNN, Channel 4 and Channel 9. We all came together as a team and gave back to those in need, and in the end, we had a good day. Please feel free to contact me personally if you are interested in joining our Denver team... Our next group meeting is Monday, 11/15/2010 at the REI Starbucks, feel free to come by and check us out and join in if you like.
