Partnering with the Denver Rescue Mission

Charity in Action

Here in Denver, we are blessed with a vibrant community, but within it exists a harsh reality: homelessness. The Denver Rescue Mission serves as a beacon of hope, offering vital services to those in need. As followers of Christ, we are called to help the less fortunate, and the Denver Rescue Mission provides a tangible way to live out our faith.

A Personal Commitment to Helping

Like many of you, I have been a supporter of the Denver Rescue Mission for a number of years. While my work and location haven’t allowed me to visit the Mission itself, I have visited other organizations in Denver that provide free meals for anyone who visits.

I wanted to gain a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by those experiencing food insecurity. The experience was humbling and left a lasting impression.

Shared Christian Values

The Denver Rescue Mission operates from a foundation of Christian compassion. Their mission statement speaks to “sharing the love of Christ with those experiencing homelessness and hunger, transforming lives through faith-based programs.”

This core value aligns perfectly with the teachings of the Catholic Church, which emphasizes helping those in need and the inherent dignity of every human being.

Realizing Our Blessings

Dining alongside those experiencing food insecurity made me acutely aware of my own good fortune. Never having faced homelessness or the uncertainty of where my next meal would come from fills me with immense gratitude.

It compels me to find ways to give back and support organizations like the Denver Rescue Mission that are on the front lines of helping those in need.
