Founded in 1892, the Denver Rescue Mission is the oldest full-service Christian charity
serving the poor and needy in the Rocky Mountain region. The Mission, a Colorado
nonprofit organization, provides food, clothing, shelter, transitional housing, and medical,
educational, and rehabilitation programs free of charge.
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.
