Chow For Champions

April 16, 2020

Thank you to everyone who helped feed our champions of Arvada as a way to say we all care! Many amazing sponsors have stepped up and contributed full meals to our Chow for Champions campaign and we are so grateful to them and the community for coming together on this cause. Since March 24th, we fed over 800 local Champions including first responders, healthcare workers, essential city staff and those who provide childcare to essential workers. We’ve received over $5,600 in contributions from local businesses and citizens and supported 22 local restaurants.

Organized and hosted by the City of Arvada, Arvada Chamber of Commerce, resident Kimber Just, and City Councilmember Lauren Simpson. Please consider contributing to this fund to feed Arvada Fire and PD on Thanksgiving and Christmas. 2020 has been a challenging year for essential workers and our local firefighters, EMS and police have been working tirelessly all year to keep the citizens of Arvada safe and healthy. We would like to give back to them by feeding those working on Thanksgiving and Christmas a delicious holiday meal. Click here to learn more and make a contribution!
