Located at 1330 Fox Street in Denver, The Rose Andom Center will provide a one-stop center for helping victims of rape and domestic violence. The Center is named in honor of successful Denver entrepreneur and McDonalds franchise owner, Rose A. Andom, and her lead gift of $1 million. Over $1,100,000 has been raised in addition to this initial gift.

A few of the building’s features and advantages:
• Proximity to courts, jail, mass transit
