Jeffco Human Services Foundation

Mission: Moving from poverty to prosperity - one child, one family at a time.

Goal: End poverty in Jefferson County

Purpose: Help underserved people with access to resources that enable them to achieve self-sufficiency and break the cycle of generational poverty.
