JohnstonWells Public Relations is one of 36 companies to sponsor a parking meter as part of a city-wide campaign to end homelessness in Denver.
 The campaign is a partnership between Denver’s Road Home and the Downtown Denver Partnership. For the Donation Meter Project, companies and individuals including Kaiser Permanente, sponsor one of 36 recycled parking meters placed throughout the downtown area. Metro Denver residents and visitors then have the opportunity to donate their spare change into the meters to support programs for the homeless. JohnstonWells’ parking meter is located at 16th and Champa Sts. “With 43 percent of Denver’s homeless population being women and children, it was a natural choice for our organization,” said GG Johnston, president of JohnstonWells. “As a woman-owned business, we’ve always reached out to organizations that support women, children and the arts.”
Recognizing the serious need to address the issue, Denver’s Road Home and the Downtown Denver Partnership teamed with the Mayor to create a 10-year program to end homelessness in Denver. As part of this plan, the Mayor unveiled the Donation Meter Project on March 5. The money donated supports programs designed to equip the homeless population with the tools needed to become self-sufficient and contributing members of the community. This includes placing people in housing, allowing them to receive treatment for substance abuse and mental illness and employment assistance.
