Support Programs That Strengthen Community & Opportunity 

As more families face rising costs, your gift helps us keep fresh food, healing programs, and community resources accessible.

Food Security - Nourish Denver’s families & future

Our community-led food share distributes fresh, culturally meaningful groceries to over 2,000 residents each week. Run by neighbors who once faced food insecurity, the program creates leadership and dignity through shared nourishment. Our garden program empowers 34 families including 5 youth gardeners, to grow food and community right here in Southwest Denver.

Economic Vitality - Open doors to new opportunities

We believe economic resilience begins with opportunity. Through paid job trainings, business incubation, and classes like ESL and digital literacy, residents build skills and income while strengthening our local economy. Every meeting and training values community members’ time, voice, and leadership.

Navigation Program – Guiding community with care & connection

Our Navigation Program provides personalized support for community members facing acute or ongoing needs. Through one-on-one meetings, Puertas Abiertas (open-door hours), and bi-monthly resource events, we ensure every neighbor has access to the services and advocacy they deserve. Through advocacy, education, and trusted partnerships, our Navigation Program strengthens whole-family wellbeing and ensures no one navigates challenging systems alone.


Community Organizing - Amplify community power & voice

Organizing is at the core of everything we do. Our resident organizers hold listening sessions, focus groups, and one-on-one conversations to identify community priorities. These insights directly shape our programs, spaces, and collective action toward equity and belonging.

Mental Health - Create spaces for healing & hope

Born from hundreds of community conversations, our mental health program offers culturally responsive care in Arabic, Spanish, and English. We host weekly support groups, therapy, and classes for youth, adults, and elders creating safe spaces for healing and connection.


Loretto Heights & Community Center - Bring our new community home to life!

We’re transforming the historic Loretto Heights campus into a home for community wellbeing, featuring affordable housing, gardens, and gathering spaces. This center will serve as a lasting symbol of belonging, resilience, and leadership in Southwest Denver.

Give today to help us build community resilience through food, healing, and connection.

Every dollar you give fuels our mission. While your gift supports where it’s needed most, here’s a glimpse of what your generosity makes possible:

  • $10 provides a healthy lunch for a community member.
  • $100 offers a free one-on-one therapy session for someone in need.
  • $250 helps feed 30 families.
