We encourage you to celebrate a new Thanksgiving tradition; rather than spending money on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, support our efforts through the spirit of Giving Tuesday (Nov. 27) and Colorado Gives Day (Dec. 4).
Help us make Thanksgiving a holiday that allows our community to reflect and share what we are grateful for, and to channel our values for giving and generosity.
Every year during the holiday season, EDF does something special for those who are in the many inpatient treatment centers throughout the Denver metro area. This year, we will be making special holiday cards with words of love, hope, and encouragement. Join us for a day of creative expression, community bonding, and holiday cheer to help us make our special cards!
Come as you are – anyone and everyone! We’re getting together for a night of fun and support to play bingo and hang out during National Eating Disorder Awareness Week!
The event is free, and you can win prizes! Appetizers will be provided, and you can buy something from the full menu too.
All are invited, and walk-ins are welcome – but we would love it if you can RSVP to info@eatingdisorderfoundation.org!
