Families in need can visit the church office for a bag of food during church office hours Monday through Friday. On a regular basis food is also shared with local feeding ministries around Denver. St. John's makes regular donations and is a church partner for Community Ministry. Find out more at comministry-denver.org. We welcome your contribution of non-perishable food items.

There are opportunities to serve in the ministry 6 days a week both indoors and outdoors--the indoor opportunities are preparation for what takes place outdoors. St. Johns serves a meal for 100 homeless guests every other month or so. The meal is served outdoors at a location announced in advance. Typically, a group of 6 or more people purchase either sandwich fixings or hot dogs, buns, condiments, chips and cookies for 100. The sandwiches or hot dogs are prepared at home and brought to the outdoor site, already warm if you've made hot dogs.

There are many other opportunities available at Christ's Body. Please contact Tiffany at: This email address is being protected from spambots.
