🌮Taco-bout giving back to your community! Chef Jose Avila visited The Crossing to serve a taquiza style meal from his restaurant La Diabla Denver.

"It's a really nice way to give back, you know, it's kind of like a thank you to the Denver community for the last five years, they have been nothing but supportive of my ideas."

We loved hosting Chef Avila and look forward to having him back this summer!

Behind every conversation, prayer and moment of encouragement, there’s a team showing up with compassion and consistency every single day.

Grateful for our Chaplain team and the care they provide to guests, program participants and staff at Denver Rescue Mission 💙

They do incredible work every day — and they definitely know how to have a little fun too 😉

Behind every family who stays housed because of our Prevention program… there’s someone like Nicole.💛

As a Prevention Case Manager, she helps families facing impossible situations find stability—before they ever enter homelessness.

Our President/CEO sat down with NY Times best-selling author, Liz Murray, for a powerful conversation on homelessness, resilience and the importance of prevention.

“In the first six months, we helped over 70 families—144 kids who may never know what it’s like to sleep in a shelter or the back seat of a car.”

Because prevention changes lives before crisis becomes reality💛

"[Back on My Feet] is an essential part of my program and daily life over there at The Crossing. Getting into it has really made me commit to something and showed me if I put in the effort, I'm going to get something from it, and it has been little wins." -Sebastian

For years the Mission has partnered with the Denver chapter of Back on My Feet. The pinnacle of this wonderful partnership comes every May when the guys cross the finish line at Denver's Colfax Marathon! ❤😀

The Mission was blessed with the opportunity to sit with NY Times best selling author Liz Murray prior to our Hope in Full Bloom event earlier this month.

“If a family becomes homeless, they will likely be homeless for years, and it will cost a ton of money to get them out of homelessness. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩— 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 $𝟑,𝟎𝟎𝟎 —𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦.” — Dennis Van Kampen, President/CEO

❤️ Every $1 invested in prevention saves $3 in crisis response.

Our new Prevention program is designed to do exactly that—𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲, 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬.

"I want to express how special and formative my time volunteering with Denver Rescue Mission, and specifically at the Ministry Warehouse, was. I can't overstate how much of that is due to the kindness shown to me by the staff." -Alyssa ❤

Volunteering at the Ministry Outreach Center (a.k.a. the Mission's donation center), helps our community. We have been so glad to have hosted groups like Huron Consulting, as well as numerous individuals giving back to the Denver area! 😀

Hope in Full Bloom happened because a whole community showed up💜

From every conversation to every bid, bouquet and shared meal—this event was filled with generosity.

A special thank you to our Title Sponsors, Oceanview Life and Annuity Company and Pinnacle Steel Industrial Fabricators, for helping make the night possible.

And to everyone who attended, supported and believes in the work happening every day at Denver Rescue Mission: thank you for being part of it all!

A good morning starts with a great cup of coffee! ☕

Give Huckleberry Roasters now! Help our neighbors experiencing homelessness by providing them an excellent cup of coffee to start their day! A caffeine boost can help our guests provide the energy to meet with their Case Manager, complete necessary tasks and find stability! 👍
