The Newfield Foundation awarded the Mission a grant on March 25, 2008 to help us as we provide meals every day to anyone in need. This is the second large grant we have received from Newfield since January, 2007. Their support and friendship is very much appreciated!

On Saturday, May 3rd, 71 volunteers from Comcast helped out immensely at The Crossing!  From 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the amazing, hardworking group dug up 40 tons of landscape rock, and replaced it with landscape cloth and mulch. Volunteers unloaded every single can, box and bin from our food trailer, and took it to the food pantry!  And finally, the volunteers prepared and served lunch to all the New Life Program and STAR residents at The Crossing.  After it was all finished, they cleaned and scrubbed down the kitchen.  What an incredible day!

Denver Rescue Mission wants to thank Doug Schoelzel, President of KD Trucking, who generously donated his time and resources to load the rock , and  Dave Fisk from Genesis Landscapes for donating use of a Bobcat.  And special thanks to Dave Barnes and the entire Comcast crew for their remarkable service on behalf of the people and families turning their lives around at The Crossing!

The tower at The Crossing houses male New Life Program residents and includes classroom space for the Mission’s Literacy, Education and Career programs.  When a hailstorm damaged the outside of the Tower last year, Mission volunteer Gary Duke of Guaranty Bank thought he knew someone who could help repair it.

Gary referred Mike Johnston, owner of the commercial painting company Americoat, to the Denver Rescue Mission.  Mike Johnston was more than willing to help.  His generous donation to the Mission included paint, lifts and all labor needed to repair the Tower.

Thank you, Americoat, for your generosity and hard work benefiting our residents striving to turn their lives around!

A very special thank you to the principals and employees at Castle Meinhold & Stawiarski, LLC law firm in Denver for providing a significant donation allowing the Mission to purchase toys for approximately 1,200 needy children that will attend the Mission’s Santa Shop event on December 15th. The employees also held a “Pay $5.00 to Wear Jeans to Work” fund raiser which was a huge success!”

We are so grateful to the Beverage Distributors Company  for their very generous donation to the Denver Rescue Mission!  Robert Catalani, President and CEO of Beverage Distributors  said, “It has been our goal to make a conscious effort to support and facilitate giving throughout the year to programs that benefit the communities we service. Beverage Distributors are proud to give this donation to help those who are less fortunate and are in need of help at this time of year”.

The Denver Rescue Mission appreciates everyone at Beverage Distributors Company for their kind and generous support of the poor and hungry men, women, and children, we serve!
