Miss Millie’s is your one stop shop for good food and desserts! Owner Chef Shawny is a self taught baker and chef was born and raised in Park Hill Denver, Co. She was taught how to cook and bake by her Grandma Millie Germany who was born and raised in Winnsboro, Louisiana. Growing up Chef Shawny’s parents would drop her off at her Grandmas where she would watch her Grandma cook in her small kitchen and fill the air with southern down home cooking such as black eyed peas, collard greens, yams, fried chicken & catfish, gumbo, and the list goes on. As Chef Shawny grew up she hosted family parties and would go to friends houses to cook and bake for them perfecting her craft any way she could.
Chef Shawny states her purpose for Miss Millie’s was to create a one stop shop for all her customers need. Miss Millie’s not only offered the sweets and creation from Everything Bouquets, Miss Millie’s would offer catering for any and all occasions, savory lunch meals, and healthy meal prep services.At Miss Millie’s Kitchen they love to partner with schools/youth organizations for fundraisers.

The Art Garage’s mission is to offer arts-based programs that inspire, empower and promote creative self-expression by people of all ages and backgrounds. On-site and off-site studio workshops and exhibitions engage the greater Denver community to those who are under-served, at-risk and for people with disabilities to ensure the artistic process is fully accessible and inclusive for all.
At The Art Garage we believe that all people (including but not limited to) every age, race, gender, physical and intellectual ability, mental health background, religion, and culture should have access to visual arts. We want to encourage students to find their creative spark and give them the space, time, tools and the inspiration they need to nurture it.
The Art Garage supports creative individuality and fosters continuous learning about ourselves and others. With a commitment to equity and diversity, we strive to ensure accessibility to the arts and to amplify voices that have been systematically excluded. We work to enrich our community through the process of providing a brave space for individuals to be their full creative selves.
In 1972, a dozen advocates for Denver’s Latino communities came together to form Servicios de La Raza (Servicios), a bilingual human services organization, to serve Denver’s low-income Spanish-speaking populations with linguistically and culturally responsive social services. Initially, Servicios was a licensed facility for the treatment of mental health and chronic mental illnesses. Two years later, the agency applied to Colorado’s Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division for funding and licensure as an approved alcohol and substance abuse treatment center.
Since its founding 50 years ago, Servicios continues to serve the most vulnerable members of the community who live on the margins and rarely have access to culturally responsive human services. Servicios is now the preeminently recognized comprehensive health and human services agency addressing the needs of the Latino and other underserved and marginalized communities across the Denver metropolitan area and Colorado, providing services to more than 30,000 people a year.
