Clothing Swap
Dec 7 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Do clothing swaps make you anxious?
That’s why our Recovery Rack program is partnering with comedienne & podcaster Morgan Gallo to host a gender-neutral, size inclusive clothing swap! On December 7th from 12-4pm at DUDE, IDK Studios, you can stop by with your unwanted garb and swap it for something from one of the many collections of sizes and styles.
There’ll be good music, privacy to try things on and TONS of clothes. The best part is, if the clothes you bring don’t get picked up by someone, you can always donate them to the Recovery Rack – a clothing resource for those experiencing recovery from an eating disorder.

Colorado Gives Day
Dec 10 all-day
It’s almost Colorado Gives Day…
...a perfect time to come together, support the causes you love, and make a real impact!
Colorado’s largest day of giving takes place on Tuesday, December 10th. Although Colorado Gives Day features nonprofits based in the state, our services reach people not just in Colorado, but around the globe.
And here’s the best part:
Every donation on Tuesday increases our chance to earn extra funds from the Colorado Gives Day Incentive Fund, so your gift could go even further.
Giving early means you’re already part of Colorado’s biggest giving event—and you’re helping us build momentum to reach our goals.
How to Give:
Make your donation today, on Giving Tuesday, or on Colorado Gives Day.
Share the love. Encourage others to join in and help us make a difference.
Your generosity today will have a lasting impact, helping us break the silence and rebuild lives. We’re grateful to have you join us for this important day.

Individual Mentorship Applications Accepted
Dec 12 – Dec 17 all-day

We know you because we’ve been you

Are you seeking support from someone who understands what you are going through?  Through EDF’s mentorship program, we will match you with a mentor who has walked the path and understands the complexity of the recovery journey. This 10-week program will provide one-on-one support during weekly connections.  We strongly believe in the power of connection, meaningful conversations, and creating a community of like-minded individuals – factors we attribute to living a life in/towards recovery. We welcome individuals 16+ from all states in the US. Pairs may meet virtually or in person.

We at EDF are absolutely blown away by the massive interest in our blossoming mentorship program. We have received an unprecedented number of applications from members of the community who want to pursue recovery with us.

Please note that this program has a limited number of available mentors, so there is no guarantee you will be paired.  Mentee applicants not accepted this round may re-apply next quarter. You must be at least 16 years of age and a resident of the United States to apply.

How do I apply? 

Please view application instructions at https://www.eatingdisorderfoundation.org/get-help/request-a-mentor/

To learn more about this program, contact us at cengels@eatingdisorderfoundation.org.

For help finding professional support, or if you are in need of some extra resources, please feel free to call us at 303.322.3373 or email info@eatingdisorderfoundation.org.
