RE/MAX Alliance Agent Denise Patrick Gives Her Time And Talents for Projects That Benefit Others!


As the holiday season unfolds, strings of colorful lights become untangled and draped over roofs and trees; mailboxes are stuffed with the latest department store sales; and holiday sweaters magically appear, keeping shoppers warm from the winter chill. Acts of kindness are to be found everywhere. RE/MAX Alliance’s Denise Patrick uses the holidays as a way to say thanks and give back to her community.

Each year, Denise greets shoppers at the local King Soopers in Conifer as a volunteer for the Salvation Army. If you take a stroll down any mall street or visit your local supermarket, you will most likely hear the ringing of a Salvation Army bell. Volunteers spend countless hours standing with their Santa-red tin kettles, while engaging passers-by with a smile and holiday cheer.

Denise also participates year-round as president of Mountain Peace Shelter located in Conifer. She works closely with local groups and organizations, which donate their time and talents, to support projects benefiting the community. The Mountain Peace Shelter, established in 1986, focuses on aiding abused women, children and pets. The shelter provides emergency shelter assistance and a 24-hour crisis hotline. It is the only shelter in Colorado that caters to pets and their owners.

"One of the greatest pleasures we experience at the shelter is the outpouring of help from the community,” said Denise. "It is our hope that the alliance between our agency and local organizations continues for as long as there is this need in our communities. We are so blessed with their help."

Denise has been a resident of Conifer and the surrounding area for over twenty years. She has been a licensed real estate agent for over eighteen years; the last thirteen years with RE/MAX Alliance.
