Host a Sunday Meal!

This is a great opportunity for a team, group of friends, or family to do a one-time volunteer service (2 - 8 people).

Every Sunday, the Denver team coordinates a warm meal for the homeless youth of Colorado. We rely on groups of volunteers to prepare, bring and serve the food. Our turn out of kids on a Sunday is anywhere from 50 to 75, so we ask that enough food is prepared for about 60 people.

Does this sound like something you'd want to help with? It's easy to sign up HERE! After signing up, you will be contacted with additional details.

On January 28, 2010, Rinu - a great poet, a caring soul, a brilliant young woman who loved animals - lost her life. She was only 20. We never imagined we'd have to face the day when we'd lose one of our kids. We were able to drive members of her street family to attend her memorial. The kids read moving and funny poems that really celebrated Rinu.

Rinu was one of the first kids we met when we started outreach. We helped her through the ups and downs, were able to eat some meals with her, and teach here some valuable tools for taking care of herself. Her passing has been difficult on our volunteers, but we hope she is at peace now. She certainly left behind many people who love and miss her.

Here's a lovely article the Denver Post created about her:
