A collective Gift Card is a gift card that is applicable toward multiple retailers, often to promote them as a unified business district, commercial area, or “Main Street”.
The West Denver Marketplaces Gift Card is a collaborative effort to promote the range of multicultural small businesses and their communities across West Denver. From West Colfax to Florida Avenue and Sheridan to Santa Fe Drive, a diverse range of locally owned and operated businesses make up these vibrant communities.
The Gift Card can be used on-site at any of the participating storefront businesses ranging from restaurants and gift stores to auto shops and beauty salons.
The West Denver Marketplaces Gift Card initiative is funded by a Neighborhood Activation grant from Denver Economic Opportunity and Development (DEDO). The Denver Housing Authority (DHA), in partnership with BuCu West and West Denver Renaissance Collaborative (WDRC), initiated the grant as a responsive solution to community needs in West Denver. District 3 Councilwoman Jaime Torres and Sun Valley Kitchen are also supportive stakeholders in the initiative.
