Summit County Lost & Found Program
Slopes to Hope is a nonprofit organization that operates out of Breckenridge, in Summit County. We go to hotels and resorts in the area and collect all the clothing items that their guests either lose or leave behind and then distribute them to homeless shelters, churches, and community organizations that can help us keep these thousands of pounds of clothes out of the landfill and get them to the people that need them the most.

Vision
Connecting people in need of help with those who are willing and able to help, across the world.
Mission
Reduce waste and foster hope.
Why?
There are tens of thousands of pounds of winter clothes left behind at ski resorts and hotels every year by their guests, which mostly end up in landfills.
There are also tens of thousands of people who are homeless or cannot afford proper winter clothing.
We will address these two issues with one solution.
How?
We go to the hotels and resorts in Summit County and collect these winter clothes, and then distribute them to homeless shelters, churches, and community organizations that can help us keep these thousands of pounds of clothes out of the landfill and get them to the people that need them the most.
How is it funded?
We are seeking funding from grants, sponsorships, and individual donors. We will ask the hotels and ski resorts that we service for a donation.
We are also exploring different fundraising events, such as a raffle for new ski equipment and apparel, or nights at participating resorts. Individuals and businesses may also pledge a penny per pound of clothing we collect and distribute.
