Holly Creek in the Denver Post

Holly Creek Retirement Community was in the Sunday edition of the Denver Post. The article was about a great program called "Toys for God's Kids" which was founded by Marlin Dorhout. Holly Creek, along with other retirement communities, is an active part of this program which has made over 289,000 wooden toy cars. Click here to read the article.

Happenings at Holly Creek!

Holly Creek Retirement Community enjoyed a trip to Red Rocks Amphitheater to see the Colorado Symphony perform. Last Monday, 20 residents enjoyed a relaxing ride to Morrison with front seat accomodations at Red Rocks! They enjoyed all-time favorites including John Williams’ Adventures on Earth from ET, Berlioz’ Roman Carnival Overture, Barber’s Essay No. 2, Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever and Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, as well as selections from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and much more.

On Thursday, we had 15 residents who went to the Rockies baseball game. They had cool weather and great seats and the Rockies beat the Cardinals in a 4-2 game. It was a fun afternoon taking in a game.

The next trip scheduled is for our folks who enjoy testing their luck. We will be heading to Blackhawk on July 13th! There are so many great excursions and trips that we plan every month. If you would like to learn more about our upcoming events please click here!

Toys for God's Kids

Toys put smiles on children’s faces all over the world. The volunteers at Holly Creek were recently asked by the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging (CFCA) to produce 400 hundred wooden cars through the “Toys for God’s Kids” program for a trip they were taking to Guatemala. CFCA believe in the potential of people living in poverty. They support and encourage children, their families and the aging in 23 countries. When they visited Guatemala recently, they handed out the cars made by Holly Creek residents. Their story will be featured in the Denver Post this week. To learn more about CFCA click here!

Holly Creek residents have made over 32,000 cars that have been sent all over the world including Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti and the latest box of cars going to children in Guatemala.
