"I believe there is a strong will among the people in this world to help others. And if they are given the opportunity and resources to do so, I believe they will."

Drew Roberts Slopes to Hope - Founder & Executive Director Breckenridge Mountain Rotary Club Past President 2024-2025

Mission

Slopes to Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Breckenridge, dedicated to reducing waste and fostering hope. We collect clothing items left behind at hotels and resorts and distribute them to homeless shelters, churches, and community organizations. Through repurposing, we keep thousands of pounds of clothing out of landfills and deliver warmth, dignity, and Hope to vulnerable communities.

Did you know?

Thousands of pounds of winter clothes are lost or left behind at ski resorts and hotels in Colorado every year.Most of these clothes end up in our landfills.

There are tens of thousands of people in Colorado experiencing homelessness or cannot afford proper winter clothing.

We address these two problems with one solution!

3,052 pounds of clothes!

During the 2023-2024 ski season, we collected and distributed...

(From six hotels and resorts)

How?

We collect winter clothes from hotels and resorts in the Breckenridge area that their guests either lose or leave behind. We then distribute them to homeless shelters, churches, and community organizations in Summit County and throughout the Denver Metro Area.

How?

We seek funding from grants and sponsorships, and are exploring ideas for fundraising events. Businesses and individuals may also pledge a penny per pound of clothing we collect and distribute.

How is it funded?

How?

Beyond donations, we seek help with community outreach and connecting with hotel and resort managers! We are also seeking volunteers to help us collect clothes from hotels and resorts and deliver them to shelters and nonprofit organizations throughout Colorado.

How is it funded?
