For my staff who work day in and day out helping those who believe their life has lost all purpose, change is measured in the moments where hope is regained. It is measured in the grateful eyes of a 65-year-old man, who, until entering the Mission’s New Life Program, relentlessly battled a 50-year addiction with drugs and alcohol. It is measured in the heart that, for the first time, comes to know the God who offers unconditional love and grace.
• Fifty-four men and women graduated from our New Life Program into a life of self-sufficiency. • Twenty-five program participants obtained their GED.

In the Mission’s 120-year history of changing lives, it’s not uncommon for people to ask us, “How do you measure change?” Is it measured in small increments—an empty stomach filled or a night off the street? Or does it require a span of time—the many months it takes for our program participants to earn their GED or graduate from one of our transformative programs?
Here are more of the ways we measured change in fiscal year 2011-2012:

Outreaches True life change doesn’t ordinarily happen in the midst of the chaos created by poverty, addiction and homelessness. That’s why Denver Rescue Mission provides the needy with basic necessities, as well as the opportunity to enroll in our transformative rehabilitation programs. In the safety of a supportive community, those we help can experience the healing power of God’s love, while laying the foundation for a life that’s based on spiritual renewal, accountability and self-sufficiency.
Lawrence Street Shelter is the Mission’s
most recognizable facility, sheltering up to 300 men nightly. Emergency care is provided at this location for men, women and families through meals, food boxes and clothing distribution. Our clinic is also located here and provides medical care and referrals.
The Crossing offers our long-term New Life
rehabilitation program in a community setting for men; the STAR Transitional Program for homeless families, single men, single women, and New Life Program graduates; and temporary lodging for interns and visitors.

rehabilitation program for men. Located in Wellington, Colorado (near Fort Collins), the Farm sits on 209 acres and is a fully operating farm and ranch, providing unique work therapy opportunities for program residents and a quiet place away from the city’s temptations.
Champa House offers our long-term New Life
rehabilitation program in a residential setting, providing help toward self-sufficiency to single mothers with dependent children.
Family Services helps homeless working families,
single men, single women, seniors, and refugee families by providing a transitional program, mentoring, and assistance with permanent housing. Family Services outreaches include the long-term STAR Transitional Program, Family Refugee Services (FRS), and Family and Senior Homeless Initiative (FSHI)—a mentoring partnership between faith congregations, the City of Denver and Denver Rescue Mission.
