If you sign up you will receive an automated response but will only be contacted if there is a volunteer cancellation.) This is a fantastic facility that assists homeless women who have been in challenging situations! We can help bring some Holiday joy there while serving dinner & talking to residents as they come through the dinner line! The food is provided, we just need to heat it up and serve it to the residents as they come through the line. In addition to serving the food we will eat dinner towards the end of our shift prior to packing up the food items for storage. So many of our volunteers request this event! We have assisted this women’s safe shelter several times through several years and they have asked us back as we have fantastic groups of volunteers. The shelter is in West Denver. This is a confidential location that is given out to the volunteers after registering due to the nature of the facility. Both male & female volunteers are welcome to assist at this event.

We will be helping to pack food into the boxes for the low-income families. We will be working as a team. This assembly process actually starts at midnight but I’ve signed us up for the last shift so we’ll be able to see the families as they come to pick up their Food Boxes that will allow them to have a good Thanksgiving Dinner for their families. This event is done in honor of Daddy Bruce Randolph who for years had a BBQ restaurant & gave food away for years so that thousands of people could have a good Thanksgiving. The event is in the Central Denver area. This is a very worthwhile event whose theme this year is “One Community, One Family” that reflects their dedication to nourishing our city and embracing the diversity that makes it thrive. Please sign up soon so I can get the names of our volunteers in our group to the organization.
