Over 400 volunteers, hundreds of donors and several community partners, made it possible for us to distribute 1,700 meals to families in need in north Denver the week before Thanksgiving. Our partner, ThornCreek Church, produced this video to show what it looks like for the community to come together and help their neighbors. We want to express our gratitude to these local businesses and organizations that donated items and services to make this event possible.

S.O.S Group Sponsors Child!
A local group of moms and their children make up the group - S.O.S., which stands for "Summer Of Service". They use the extra time in the summer to serve in nonprofits in the north Denver area, helping local citizens in need. Last summer, this incredible group held a food drive outside of King Soopers and brought in hundreds of pounds of food donations for Food for Hope. This year, the group supported our organization by putting on a bake sale near Park Village Pool. Their results were inspiring! These kids raised close to $200 in only 2 hours! That amount will sponsor a local child to be fed by Food for Hope for an entire school year.
