How You Can Help
Where There's a Will There's a Way

Nearly a quarter of Americans age 65 and above have not created a will.  Careful planning will,   allow you to care for loved ones or organizations that are close to your heart  -- but only if you have a proper will.  To find out how you can include Gateway Battered Women’s Services in your will, please contact us at (303) 343-1856.

Note:  If your company has a matching gifts program, you may be able to double or even triple the amount of your gift to Gateway.  Ask your employer for forms and guidelines. Thank you in advance for your support.

 
Ever Wonder What to do with your Old Cellphone?

Gateway has the answer for you! We are collecting used cell phones, not older than four years old. We use these phones for two purposes. First, phones are given to victims in highly lethal situations so that they may access emergency personnel at any time. Secondly, any excess inventory of phones is sold to a company that will refurbish the phones and sell them to companies overseas.

If your family, community, church or company is thinking about organizing a cell phone drive, please contact us at 303-343-1856.

Money received from these efforts go directly to fund Gateway’s programs. This is a win-win proposition. You can support Gateway Battered Women’s Services, receive a tax deduction and your old phones are recycled. Phones with chargers (no other accessories please) can either be mailed directly to Gateway Battered Women’s Shelter, P. O. Box 914, Aurora, CO 80040 or dropped off at one of the following locations:

Interchurch Taskforce
1553 Clinton Street
Aurora, CO 80010
Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 9am – 3pm

Neighborly Thrift Store
3360 S. Broadway
Englewood, CO
Mon-Sat 10am – 4pm

Gateway would like to extend a very special thank you to the above businesses that are accepting the cell phone donations. This support truly is making a difference for our clients!

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THIS UNIQUE WAY!

The reasons I want to help women and children who are victims of Domestic Violence are: assist women and children in domestic violence situations to become strong enough to have a voice of their own; help women and children realize their true value and worth; nurture those who have been beaten down physically and emotionally and help them resurface their self-respect; teach everyone that they have the "right" to say "No, you can't treat me like that".
