Update: We have raised 73% of our fundraising goal of $79,000!
Please help us raise the remaining $22,000 in matching funds needed to receive a grant from the Colorado Historical Society to restore our beautiful stained glass windows at St. Paul Church. Together we can do this! Please sponsor a window or make a donation of any amount by the end of June. Every donation helps. Thank you so much!

THE SUNDAY MEAL PROGRAM
The Sunday Meal Program at St. Paul Church is now in its 23rd year of providing a free, hot meal every Sunday morning to the homeless and others who are hungry! In the last two years, we have seen a steady increase of meal guests. In 2009, we served over 8,000 meals. But financial support is decreasing even as demand is increasing. Your support is needed to continue the program. Please contribute to the Sunday Meal Program. You can place your donation in an offering plate or mail it to St. Paul Church, 1615 Ogden, Denver, CO 80218 (mark in the memo: SMP). We can do this together! Thank-You!
