Our Most Vulnerable
As you may be aware, homeless persons in our community recently experienced a major set back when Denver officials performed "sweeps" of Denver streets resulting in the loss of critical possessions for our community's most vulnerable people.
What Can We Do?
This year's all church social justice project on May 22nd will give our members the opportunity to learn more about this issue and to contribute needed items to benefit those affected by homelessness.
The following list shows the most needed items for this year's participating organizations. Please donate one or more of these highly needed items.
