Service “from Scratch”

IFCS (Integrated Family Community Services) provides basic human services for families and individuals with the goal of self-sufficiency. We provide financial assistance, food, school supplies, boxes, and other resources as well as vouchers for local recreation centers.  Since 1964 we have supported the Denver community through the loyal support of volunteers, community partners, corporate sponsors, and numerous generous donors, we have remained open, and continually adapting to current needs.

This blog is a glimpse into the “secret ingredients” that have built our nonprofit “from scratch,” and continue to make IFCS into what we hope will be a lasting, valued resource for the community. Thank you for being a part of IFCS!
