My church supports The Delores Project, in Denver, Colorado.  The Delores Project is a ministry to homeless women in Denver, Colorado.  Their mission is to provide safe, comfortable overnight shelter and services to unaccompanied adult women who are homeless and have limited resources.  Their model of service is one of hospitality, respect, and the regard for the dignity of each guest.

We have the privlege of bringing a beautiful meal, and serving these ladies each month.  The people of our church sign up and donate portions of the meal from a menu that has been specifically chosen with these ladies in mind.  We don't want to bring them the same meals they get a lot of.  Instead, based on what we hear from the ladies and the staff, we bring them what they like; things like meat, potatoes of every shape and form, warm bread with butter, fresh fruit, name brand pop (instead of generic),  and delicious ooy-gooey desserts.  It is our honor to serve these ladies each month. 

For special occasions and holidays we also bring down bags of goodies and personal items for each lady.  They get so excited and happy with even the smallest items as they are not given very many presents in their current situations.  Last time I went to serve we brought a gift bag for each lady with flipflops, polish, and lotions.  It was such a small token and they were so thrilled to receive it!

These beautiful souls are not that different from me and you.  They are mothers, sisters and daughters, and because of the circumstances of their lives, they are in the position they are in today.  Yes, some may be there because of the bad decisions they have made, but it is not my place to judge them.  Christ asks us to love and serve each other.  I figure I am only a couple of bad decisions away from being in the same position myself.  These are real people who need some help!

I would encourage you to find a charity to be involved in and be able to support either financially, through prayer, or with your time.  Feel free to click on The Delores Project link, read more about this mission and donate to the work they are doing!
