With the events of the day, PorchLight is holding space and gratitude for our first responders at Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Jeffcom 911 today. The deputies, victim advocates, calltakers, fire, and EMTs. Our partners and friends.

For the lives who will be forever changed by today’s senseless events, we see you, and we are here to help however we can. For those who need immediate assistance, help is always available at 988 Colorado.

🚨You were born in 2003, a small Chevy Impala and served bravely with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office After years of dedicated service, you were promoted to duty at PorchLight, thanks to a generous donation from our friends at JCSO. Sure, your edges were touched with the hint of rust- but that was your age, your wisdom shining through. You valiantly stood sentinel outside of PorchLight, awaiting the call and making your steady presence known.
But it hasn’t been all rainbows and sunshine. After years of service, you were invaded. By what, the reader may ask? Wasps, I tell you! Wasps took up residence inside your plush interior, making your velvet their sanctuary- much to staffs' surprise (and dismay!) when they attempted to get you an oil change!
They also found glass, broken within, with an unknown culprit ever identified. And still, you stood: strong, steadfast, ready for action. Through rain, snow, hail, and heat, you prevailed.
Until the day came when you no longer were fit for duty. You plugs- they did not spark, your engine- it stopped turning, the windshield wipers- they no longer wiped. There was no life within.
We mourned.
BUT did we send you to pasture? To that great highway in the sky?? Alas! We did not! We found you a retirement with a cushy new gig. You will be cared for and made over, see a special doctor for your ailments! So that one day very soon a family who needs a vehicle can relax in your care, your sure-footedness, your velvety blueness.
And for that, we thank you.
Enjoy your retirement and new start, Blue Velvet. And thank you for your service.
Ending Tour of Duty, August 11, 2025.
