Sustaining Colorado Non-Profit Organizations, Agencies and Community
Walk into the Providers’ Resource Clearinghouse warehouse located in north
Aurora you won’t see children reading or doing art work. You won’t see families recovering from
disasters or homeless people in safe, furnished housing. You won’t see adults taking classes to better their lives
or teenagers involved in after-school programs that teach them the skills they need to avoid trouble.
You won’t see any of those things, but Providers’ Resource Clearinghouse (PRC) helps make these things
happen throughout metropolitan Denver
, for tens of thousands of people every day.
Providers’ Resource Clearinghouse (PRC) was opened in 1993 by a group of community leaders
from the business, faith and nonprofit sectors who wanted to bridge the gap between
struggling human-service providers and businesses seeking to serve the community through in-kind giving. Since that
time, Providers’ Resource Clearinghouse (PRC), a 501(c)(3) organization, has refurbished and redistributed more than
$100 million dollars worth of goods and supplies to thousands of community based agencies throughout the Denver
metro area.
PRC accepts donations from corporations
and individuals consisting of new and used office and household furnishings and finds
new possibilities for use of the items by recycling or redistributing them to other
nonprofits and those they serve for a small fee.
Mission of Organization
To support Colorado's community-based organizations and the people
they serve with in-kind resources while creating a safe and stable work
and training environment for individuals with mental
illness within Providers' Resource Clearinghouse.
