At Grovewood, we believe that thriving communities begin with meeting basic needs—food, hygiene, transportation, and the ability to celebrate together. Your donation directly supports our mission to foster dignity, wellness, and opportunity for residents across our properties. Every contribution helps us provide essential resources and build a stronger, more connected community.
Annually, we distribute over 60 backpacks filled with school supplies for students in our communities. With support from Alliance for Professional Women, we are able to cover the cost of roughly 20 backpacks. In 2026, we anticipate needing an additional 45 backpacks to meet the needs of the households we serve.
Ways to Help:
Your donation ensures that students have everything they need for a successful school year while reducing additional financial strain for parents.
Our on-site food pantries serve over 350 households, providing nutritious, high-quality options to residents in need.

Transportation is a critical need for residents to access work, school, medical appointments, and community resources. Residents can request RTD bus ticket books, each containing 10 tickets. We distribute approximately 200 books annually, supporting seniors, people with disabilities, and people from diverse backgrounds.
