The Denver Center for Crime Victims Receives $1,000 Dollars of Donated Services from Floyd's

May 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Floyd’s 99 Barbershop - Colfax has donated coupons for services worth over $1000 to the Denver Center for Crime Victims (DCCV).  Each coupon is valid for half-price color treatment, regularly starting at $40.00, valid at the 2331 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, CO. store.  Counselors and staff at DCCV assists nearly 6,000 people a year through the 24-hotline, emergency assistance, and prevention and recovery programs.  This donation gives DCCV an additional tool to help speed the recovery and healing process to the individuals they serve.

“DCCV contributes to the financial costs caused by the victimization (repairs, medical bills, food, prescriptions, etc). Safety and security is our priority for financial assistance,” said Amy Ulrich, Director of Administration, for The Denver Center for Crime Victims.  She continued, “However, what we see with crime victims is that every day personal care can be affected after being victimized. A person may have little to no money after the victimization, they may be dealing with medical issues, loss of their job and so they are just struggling to keep food on the table. A contribution towards personal care can be huge towards healing”

Floyd’s 99 Barbershop has a long history of support of community nonprofits, Stephanie Kozdron, color manager at the Floyd’s 99 shop on Colfax remarks, “We want our neighbors to know we care about them.  This is our way of saying we want their days go a little better from here on out.”
