We Need Your Help

---

Mission Arvada's daily operations, funding, and supplies are provided through grants and the kindness of our donors and volunteers.

Due to a recent fall-off in grant funding, Mission Arvada has had to stop paying some support staff. If you are able to give money toward these needs, it will help us continue to provide excellent services for clients, especially housing navigation services. 

Along with volunteers from the Rising Church, many additional community parishes and churches, citizens in the Denver metro area, and many current and former clients of Mission Arvada contribute to program efforts. These individuals are the best ambassadors of the program to other clients as they can speak to their own experiences in the program and help provide continuing support. This relationship also creates a sense of community among past and present Mission Arvada clients. 

At Mission Arvada, we work with people experiencing homelessness to transform overwhelming negative forces and experiences in their lives and communities into positive and proactive action toward resiliency and sustainability. Your volunteerism and/or financial contribution would help sustain and expand Mission Arvada’s programs, helping us to connect with and improve our clients' chances for success and self-sufficiency.
