DENVER — Hundreds of Denver 's new immigrant students and families attended a donation distribution event at Place Bridge Academy on Saturday.
South High School teacher Karen Vittetoe was assisting during Saturday's event, just a few days after Denver7 was able to surprise her and a couple more Denver educators with $5,800 that was raised through our Denver7 Gives fundraiser. The DCTA said some of the items purchased were at the Place Bridge distribution event, while others were taken to other DPS community hubs.
"Everyone is in desperate need right now," said Vittetoe."Having these events is critical for their survival in this city. They need support as much as they can because it takes a long time to get the work permits."
