EDF will be closed on Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th in observance of Thanksgiving. Please join us for a Special Holiday Support Group on Saturday, November 30th from 10-11:30 AM.
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!
EDF will be closed on Tuesday, December 25th in observance of Christmas. Please join us for a Special Holiday Support Group on Saturday, December 29th from 10-11:30 AM.
EDF will be closed on Tuesday, January 1st in observance of New Year’s Day. Please join us for a Special Holiday Support Group on Saturday, December 29th from 10-11:30 AM.
