• Member agencies of Colorado Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster do not promote one charity over another. Please donate to a charity of your choice.

MATERIAL DONATIONS FOR DISASTERS

• Donate ONLY those things that are requested by officials and bring them to the official designated collection centers 
• Please note, USED clothing and household items are NOT NEEDED
• If you have a material donation that is needed, CLICK HERE. You will be contacted if your donation is needed
• Meal donations from restaurants (no home cooked meals please) may be needed for some local personnel and organizations supporting response efforts.  If you are with a restaurant and want to donate meals, CLICK HERE, and then wait to be contacted (never bring food to a site unless it is requested)
• Items not needed may go to waste and get in the way of relief efforts
• Donations for VACANT rental properties, vacation homes, can be listed through Colorado Housing Search. Please note donated rooms in homes can NOT be accepted

TO VOLUNTEER

• DO NOT GO TO THE SCENE OF A DISASTER
• Volunteers are NOT currently needed for flooding 
• You can enter your information HERE, and if a volunteer need is identified, you will be contacted by the agency that can utilize your skills
• The arrival of unexpected volunteers will interfere with response efforts 
• STAY SAFE by volunteering with a reputable agency! 
• Volunteers will be needed most during the long-term recovery phase, which will last month/years. Please know, volunteers are still needed for flood risk mitigation for 2012 and 2013 disasters
• Please be patient and WAIT until relief agencies can train you and use your help

Aidmatrix Speaking at a Microsoft “Enterprise & Partner Group” Employee Event

Aidmatrix's President & CEO Gov. Scott McCallum and COO Keith Thode are speaking today at the Microsoft Enterprise & Partner Group event in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. With over 200 Microsoft employees in attendance, Aidmatrix will be speaking about Aidmatrix's partnership with Microsoft, and how important Microsoft's giving campaign is to the company. Aidmatrix is a direct result of that importance, as Microsoft has recently been a big supporter of Aidmatrix, specifically our disaster relief efforts these past few years. By moving our technology to the Cloud with Windows Azure, we have been able to raise the quality of Humanitarian Aid Supply Chain Management solutions and other SaaS products (like our Virtual Aid Drive™), while at the same time lowering operational costs for our organization and the nonprofits that use Aidmatrix technology.

Read our COO Keith Thode's recent guest blog post on Microsoft's Worldwide Partners Conference blog for more information about Aidmatrix & Microsoft's partnership.
