Did you know that over 30,000 people in Denver are experiencing homelessness?
Many who are homeless suffer from some form of mental illness, still many others are veterans of wars, and during the pandemic many more have become housing insecure. Winter is an especially difficult time for those who do not have a home to sleep in at night.
This need for shelter is so basic and long-standing. Throughout the Bible God’s people are called to specifically care for those who are experiencing homelessness.
Verse for Meditation: Isaiah 58:7
Action: Today, we invite you to gather your extra scarves, hats, mittens and coats and donate them to Urban Peak, Denver Rescue Mission, or another local organization that cares for the homeless.

Socks and shoes are also a helpful needed item . I recall working inpatient psych and so admitting residents in the nursing home that were mentally ill who were previously homeless coming to us with just the clothes on their back.
