 As the oldest full-service Christian charity in the Rocky Mountain region,
the Denver Rescue Mission is a thriving non-denominational organization
that serves people of every race, color, creed, gender, and national origin.
From its flagship facility—the “Jesus Saves” building
on Lawrence Street—to its bustling Ministry Outreach Center, Champa
House transitional home for mothers and children, and rural Harvest Farm
near Fort Collins, the Mission’s shelter, rehabilitation, and education
programs help thousands of men, women, and families rebuild their lives.
The increasing requests for the Mission’s unique services and the
opportunity to provide an innovative solution to Denver’s homeless
problem have led the Board of Directors to undertake the first capital
campaign in the institution’s history. The campaign is designed to
add emergency shelter space, provide transitional housing for individuals
and families, and serve more people in its New Life rehabilitation program.In general, the $12,500,000 Changing Lives Capital Campaign will:
-
Provide transitional housing for up to 77 homeless families at any
given time.
-
Expand the number of New Life Program participants from
152 to 245.
-
Provide transitional housing for up to 38 graduates of the
New Life Program.
-
Provide up to 300 beds at its Lawrence Street
Shelter.
-
Provide housing for interns who assist with the Mission’s outreach
programs.
