At Zing, we enjoy teaming up with non-profits in the Denver area to support our community and make a positive impact. This year, during Colorado Gives, a time when people are encouraged to donate and volunteer with non-profits, we’d like to introduce some of the organizations we work with. While words can’t fully convey our appreciation for their efforts, we’re excited to showcase the groups we’ll be helping.

In addition, EarthLink is not just a charity; it’s a successful business with a coffee shop at 13th and Decatur in Denver! It’s an online and local store selling handmade gifts and body products, and a garden that grows food for the people they help and the community.
