The Douglas/Elbert Task Force
announces the new name,
Treasures
on Park Street, for their retail
store.
The main difference for Treasures
versus other retail thrift stores is
that it directly supports the
Douglas/Elbert community—revenue on
donations that come from people in
the community are kept in the
community. Those funds used to
support families and individuals who
are in financial distress and at
risk of becoming homeless. The
Douglas/Elbert Task Force helps them
work through troublesome times with
dignity by providing essential
services such as food, clothing and
household items, utilities, rent,
information/referrals and much more.
Client Service Hours,
Food Bank and Administration are
all located at
1638 Park St., Castle Rock
Store Hours: 9-4, Mon-Sat Thrift
Donations: 9-3, Mon-Sat Thrift Phone:
