How can DenUM be foundational to your walk with the poor?

Contact us about our Urban Education Activities!

You can…

Plan a daylong workshop at DenUM’s facility on Colfax.

Hear the stories of a formerly homeless speaker. Participate in a poverty simulation. Walk the route of the homeless downtown. We guarantee that you will never look at Colfax or Downtown Denver with the same eyes again.

Gather a large or small group to play DenUM’s Game of Life.

The DenUM Game of Life is a thought-provoking poverty simulation activity, appropriate for teen and adult groups. A per person fee of $5 (when played at DenUM) or $50 travel honorarium is appreciated.

Host a DenUM Hunger Banquet to benefit DenUM’s emergency services.

The Hunger Banquet is a simple supper fundraiser that increases awareness of hunger and inequality in Denver through local facts and testimony.

Take the Food Stamp Challenge.

Can you make it on a Food Stamp budget? Gather pledges to support your week-long or month-long efforts, and make a difference for real families living on the edge.

Take up a community donation.

A one-time or monthly cash donation from your congregation sustains DenUM’s life-giving services for the poor. Food, clothing, diapers or hygiene items are always needed and offer a concrete way to describe the needs of DenUM's clients.

 

To talk about these or other ways that DenUM can partner with your community, contact Caroline Schultz, Urban Education Coordinator, at 303-350-5062; or Amanda Barrett, Community Relations Director, at 303-350-5074.
