About Family Tree
Family Tree is a non-profit human services agency providing innovative, life-changing services designed to end child abuse, domestic violence and homelessness. As we’ve been rooted in the metro Denver community since 1976, we recognize the intersection among child abuse, domestic violence, and homelessness. And, based on our expertise, we change how individuals, families, and communities see, respond to, and overcome these challenges.Thank you to the donors and volunteers who empower Family Tree to meet the needs of those affected by these issues in our community.
