๐ŸŒฎTaco-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 family who stays housed because of our Prevention programโ€ฆ thereโ€™s someone like Nicole.๐Ÿ’›

As a Prevention Case Manager, she helps families facing impossible situations find stabilityโ€”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.

โ€œIn the first six months, we helped over 70 familiesโ€”144 kids who may never know what itโ€™s like to sleep in a shelter or the back seat of a car.โ€

Because prevention changes lives before crisis becomes reality๐Ÿ’›

"[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! โค๐Ÿ˜€

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.

"You need to think of someone in poverty as living steeped in a really expensive decision field where the consequences of a choice are high..."

"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 โค

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! ๐Ÿ˜€
