Big Serve

What is Big Serve?
It’s About Loving Others.

St. Andrew believes there is immense value when we practice loving and serving others. That’s why, every year, we gather as a community for Big Serve, our Annual Day of Service.  We show our love and dedication to others as we partner with various agencies to work on important projects throughout the Denver Metro Area.

May 2, 2026 will be the 11th Annual Big Serve!

Project Angel Heart
Project Angel Heart was founded more than 30 years ago to address a major challenge for Coloradans who are severely ill: getting the nutrition they need to get stronger, heal, and remain at home. Many are too sick to get to the grocery store and unable to cook for themselves. Others find they have to choose whether to buy food or medication to make ends meet. That’s why Project Angel Heart prepares and delivers medically tailored meals to people living with severe illnesses. Each week, our professional chefs and registered dietitians prepare thousands of delicious meals from scratch, and tailor them to meet the specific medical and dietary needs of those who are ill. Volunteers help us package and deliver each meal at no cost to our clients.

SECOR Cares
SECOR (South East Community Outreach) began as a Christmas Outreach program from the Southeast Christian Church in Parker, CO, offering food and gifts to those who might not otherwise have a Christmas. From there, it grew into a year-round outreach program, feeding families in need. In 2006, SECOR Cares became its own entity, an official 501c3 nonprofit organization, and began to expand its offerings and reach. The free food market took shape as a real market, and donations started to grow.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
At SHP, we fully believe that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs.
