Christmas with volunteers serving ~30 unhoused/unsheltered!
On Saturday 12/21/2019, we had 15 different dishes with desserts served to our brothers and sisters experiencing homelessness in Durango. At least six people responded to our announcement on the Four Corners radio and in the Durango Telegraph to help serve. A couple of private citizens gave rides to four Purple Cliffs camp residents.
Most of the people we serve have no family and some with families here are food-insecure or low-income workers.
A family of five children brought handmade gifts and delivered them personally to some of our guests. Those children celebrated joy and showed their concern.
We are so proud that Durango has shown it’s heart today with the Durango Police Department was represented by an off-duty officer who joined our volunteer servers.
We continue to serve every Saturday at 12:30pm to 2:30pm. Food runs out early, so we suggest arriving early!

Thanks to our supporters, the Valentines Day Fundraiser at CJ's Diner was a success.
Jerry Martinez and his manager Katarina did a fine job of decorating tables with black linen.
We appreciate those who were able to attend in the snowstorm! Hopefully, everyone got home safely. Ten people couldn't make it, but 58 people came to both 5:30pm and 7:00pm dinner times.
RESULTS OF FUNDRAISER w/donations:
Gross amount raised $1929.55
Expenses (meals & promotions) were ($772.49)
Net amount raised $1,157.06 (incl. donations).
Our goal is to raise a minimum of $200,000 to purchase land and meet predevelopment costs. Other events this year are planned to raise the balance of $7.5M fir Phase-!
The Village of Hope financials reflect a budget for two vans or small buses to ensure transportation for tenants from the village to serve tenants going to medical appointments and shopping.
