The Denver Rescue Mission exists to meet people at their physical and spiritual points of need. It is our aim to return the poor, needy and homeless to society as self-sufficient, productive community members. We do this through meals, shelter, food and clothing distribution, education, medical care, Christian counseling, case management, work discipline, transitional housing programs, and assistance for permanent housing.
Programs
The Lawrence Street Shelter is the Mission's most recognizable location. Many refer to it simply as "Jesus Saves," because of the neon Jesus Saves sign that adorns the corner of the building. This facility shelters up to 200 men nightly, 300 in inclement weather. Emergency care is provided through meals, shelter, food boxes and clothing distribution. Our clinic is also located here and provides medical care mainly for program residents.
Champa House is a long-term New Life rehabilitation program in a residential setting, offering help toward self-sufficiency to single mothers and their dependent children.
Harvest Farm, located in Wellington, Colorado (near Fort Collins), is a rural New Life rehabilitation program for men. Harvest Farm is a fully operating farm and ranch with food and clothing distribution, youth camps, and a fall festival with a corn maze.

OBITUARY
Paula was a beautiful person and cousin of ours--Steve and Anna Newton--with whom we always enjoyed time at our summer Newton Reunions in Colorado when we were very young. My sister Anna had a kind of special connection with Paula I know, because on our way back to California from these reunions she'd talk about her. It's been so long ago--the 1970s--but I mostly remember Paula's bright smile. Steve Newton

I never got to know Paula all that well, probably John a little bit better, but I saw her occasionally for the better part of my life. When I think of Paula I remember a very cheerful and positive person always full of life. I am so sorry to hear her life was shortened, but I know she is in a better place, and I know she will be greatly missed. less
