Neighborhoods United Yearend Report 2025

As we close another successful 2025 year, I am pleased to share this year-end report highlighting the accomplishments of Neighborhoods United.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and dedicated service as a board member and officer of our organization. Your commitment, expertise, and generosity have been instrumental in our continued success.
Neighborhoods United has proudly served our community since our founding in 1996. In 1998, with the steadfast efforts and contributions of dedicated individuals like each of you, we achieved 501(c)(3) nonprofit status—a milestone that has enabled us to expand our impact and sustain our mission over the decades.
​
Thank you once again for your leadership and partnership. It is because of supporters like you that we continue to thrive and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

I and four other volunteers helped distribute them in Old Town Fort Collins.
4.         People dropped off items at my doorstep, or some did a direct delivery from Amazon.  My goal was to reach 1100 items, which we distributed two years ago. 
5.          We did purchase eight $25 gift cards from King Soopers for those who needed groceries as well.

A letter from Museo de las Tres Colonias:
Dear Neighborhoods United 
C/O Ray Martinez, 
 On behalf of the Board of Directors for the Museo de las Tres Colonias, we would like to express our sincere thank you for the financial support for the Back Packs and funds for our Thanksgiving basket distribution for 26 needy families. 
 We have identified 26 families that may not have a full filling Thanksgiving due to being elderly and having financial struggles. This will be our second year in helping to provide Thanksgiving baskets. 

 We plan on having provided a turkey, dry canned foods and pumpkin pie.  The families will have an option of picking up the baskets or having the baskets delivered if they are unable to pick them up. 

 We were able to have this distribution event on November 22, 11 to 1 PM. We have received a number of comments of sincere thank you from families that would not have had a meaningful Thanksgiving.  We hope with your organization support, we can continue this program for the coming years. 
​
 I have sent under separate text a few photos from our day of Thanksgiving distribution. We sincerely want to thank you and your organization for this wonderful support and sponsorship. 
 Sincerely Kind Regards, 

Jerry
