Cannon Health Care Consulting and Education

Community Involvement

This year, 2013, we will be helping out Colfax Community Network with their Annual Holiday Party for the Homeless families in Denver. Here is how you can help us this year: See below for a contact name and number to volunteer.

Volunteers

As you all know, I strongly support a local homeless facility for homeless families and children. I connect through Cannon Health Care Education by providing nursing care and through JMoon Promotions by providing music for the children and events.

We are preparing for our annual holiday party for the families to provide them with a day of dinner and celebration of the holidays. They rely on your help to make this happen. So, if you need a place to volunteer this year, this is the place!! Posted below is information on this activity and what is needed, if you desire to donate also. Thank you from my heart.

Please let me know if you can help with any of the things below.

This year our Holiday Party is scheduled for Saturday, December 21st at noon. The address is: 1585 Kingston St.
**The most important thing we do at CCN is to show caring and respect to all our clients**

We need set up volunteers to arrive at 9:30 and we need to be done with clean up by 4. We will also need a volunteer team on Sunday, Dec 15th for stuffing stockings and sorting presents.

These services include training in CPR, Healthsaver, Life Skills, Child growth and development, Nutrition, Self-Care, Well baby checks, assessments, etc.. We will have an expert RN to precept and oversee the training, as well as put together a book of resources for the center. These services go to Teen Moms and Dads, troubled teens, children and infants. 5280 has a nursery for the children of the teens. We will be providing another expert RN who does Master training on Dr. Dad for the young teen males. Please join us in spirit as we move forward with this exciting project for the new year.
