Colorado — If you lost your ski coat or mitten at Keystone this winter and didn’t have the opportunity to check the lost and found bin, you can take consolation in the fact that the item very likely found a new life through an incredible program out of Breckenridge.
Slopes To Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that collects unclaimed items from local businesses and distributes them among homeless shelters, churches, and community organizations in Summit County and the Denver Metro Area. On a recent trip to Keystone the folks from Slopes To Hope picked up 327 lbs of outdoor gear from Keystone alone.
So far this year, Slopes for Hope has diverted 16,540 lbs of winter hats, gloves, coats, and more from Colorado landfills and gotten them to folks in need across the state:

Summit County Lost & Found Program
Slopes to Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates out of Breckenridge, Colorado. We go to hotels and resorts in the area and collect all the clothing items that their guests and visitors either lose or leave behind, and then distribute them to homeless shelters, churches, and community organizations in Summit County and the Denver Metro Area. This keeps thousands of pounds of clothes out of the landfill and gets them into the hands of the people who need them the most. Established on April 3, 2025.
