The Other Side

We can get so caught up in our daily jobs and our long list of to-dos that it's easy to forget there's another side to our community.  People for whom life is not only busy and stressful, but truly a daily struggle.



As you may know, WeeCycle works by partnering with community organizations who serve the impoverished members of our community.   They call us needing baby gear, car seats, diapers, etc., and we provide it--that simple.  One of our partner organizations, The African Community Center, helps people displaced from their countries by war.  All of these photos were provided by ACC and taken just last week in Denver.


They leave their families and homeland to come live amongst us here on the Front Range.  Many come here with very little and must start their lives over from scratch.



We are fortunate that we can provide assistance in the small but vital form of a stroller, high chair or toy.  It is our privilege.

Help Us Help Kids

Did you know that according to Kids Count Colorado, our state has the second fastest growing rate of child poverty in the nation? 

WeeCycle helps children in poverty by providing parents with baby gear and diapers--essentials they would struggle to afford otherwise.




Want some good news?  You can help by going out to dinner.

On Sunday, September 22nd, Trattoria Stella on Colfax will be donating 10% of all of the evening's proceeds to WeeCycle. If you don't know this fabulous local restaurant, they serve pizzas, home-made pastas, and a delicious lasagna of the day.

Don't cook. Bring your kids. Come out to eat with the WeeCycle team.  Help children in poverty in Denver.  Let's see, I believe that's a win, win, win, win.

See you there!
