Our hearts are broken for the Lakewood Police Department and our entire community following last night’s devastating tragedy.

All of us at PorchLight extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of the Lakewood Police agent who lost their life in the line of duty. We are also holding the injured agents and their loved ones close in our thoughts and hoping for their full recovery.

The Lakewood Police Department is more than a community partner to PorchLight. They are part of our family. We have the privilege of working alongside their agents every day, and we are heartbroken by this unimaginable loss. Please know that we stand beside you in grief, gratitude, and unwavering support.

We also recognize the profound impact this tragedy has on our entire public safety community. To the agents of Lakewood Police Department, the victim advocates supporting those affected, the call takers and dispatchers at Jeffcom 911, the first responders at West Metro Fire Rescue, and the neighboring law enforcement agencies who answered the call, thank you for your courage, compassion, and service.

Our community is stronger because of you, and today, we stand together in support of all who are grieving.

With heartfelt sympathy and support,
The PorchLight Family

🔦 Let's Shine a Light on our Community! 🔦
Last week, the very generous folks at Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies stopped by with an incredible donation, which will allow our guests to get many needed supplies as we head into winter. With over 1,000 diapers of all sizes, 420 hygiene kits, and many additional household items, our friends have helped lighten the burden for survivors this holiday season. We are so grateful for those who think of our guests and their families, and Terumo has been a steadfast partner and advocate for our community. Thank you, Terumo for being a brilliant light in Jefferson County and beyond.

Are you or your organization interested in holding a collection drive for PorchLight? We are happily accepting unexpired, shelf-stable pantry items for our annual holiday food drive, and new gifts and toys for families to choose from. Click the link in the comments to learn more about our drives!

It's Spirit Week here at PorchLight. A time to take a moment and cheer each other on for the work that we do each and every day, and celebrate the community we are building. This is a community full of truly caring individuals who have dedicated their lives to bring healing and hope to survivors. We are grateful for the advocates, for the specialists, the medical staff, the legal teams, the therapists, the law enforcement officers, volunteers, and so many more folks who are helping create a stronger network of support for our guests.

Every year, dedicated advocates on the Domestic Violence Fatality (DVF) Review Board spend time analyzing information and statistics on those whose lives have been lost over the prior year due to domestic violence in Colorado. The report is a critical tool for the community to better understand the prevalence and impact domestic violence has on all of us. This year’s report shows both emerging trends and reflects trends that have held true over time. Of the victims, 91.2% were female, and 82.1% of total victims were killed by an abuser with a fi***rm.

The report shows there is still work to be done, and PorchLight remains committed to ensuring that everyone experiencing intimate partner violence has a safe place to turn for support.

Family Justice Centers are a powerful place to start, bringing multiple services together under one roof so survivors can access the help they need in one safe, supportive environment. We hope to see a Family Justice Center in every community one day.

If you or someone you know needs support, PorchLight is here to help. We are open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and no appointment is needed.

Other Colorado Family Justice Centers include The Rose Andom Center in Denver and Crossroads Safehouse & Services in Fort Collins. 💜

Today you may see an abundance of people wearing purple- well, at least we hope you do! On "Wear Purple Day," we wear our best purple to stand in solidarity with survivors and victims of intimate partner violence. When we wear purple, it says we see you. We believe you. And we are here if you need us.

PorchLight is committed to ensuring our guests have a path to safety and that they leave our Center wrapped in services with a new spark of hope burning.

We are open for walk-in services Monday through Friday, 8:30-4:30. Services are free and confidential for all our guests.

Today, PorchLight was proud to be a part of the First Judicial District Domestic Violence Coordinating Council and help our community partners put on a luncheon to honor the service of those working to help survivors and recognize law enforcement officers who have made a difference in our community this year. With an important talk by Ralston House Executive Director Tricia Riffle, and a wonderful emcee in CBS news' Karen Morfitt, it was a stirring reminder about why the work we do is so important. Thank you to First Judicial DA's Office of Colorado for hosting this event and to all our partners who helped bring this day to life!

There are nights to remember, and then there are nights we will never forget. For all of us here at PorchLight, our Be the Light Benefit was a night we are honored to say we will never forget. You really showed up for survivors, and each and every one of you made it a shining, beautiful night. 💜

Because of you, children will continue to be able to just be kids, and play in our childcare center while their parents get life-changing services to help them through trauma. Because of you, our skilled Navigators can keep meeting our Guests where they are, connecting them to partners and programs all at one time, in one place, increasing their likelihood of finding safety and a pathway forward. You are helping the lights in our building stay on so that the therapists we have on-site can continue providing healing counseling for our guests, and so that all the partners in our building have a space to work, ensuring their critical skills and specialties are utilized for the healing of those we serve. Your support did this. And we couldn't be more grateful.
