Serve with St. Andrew

St. Andrew is partnering with Break Bread again this year to help provide a Thanksgiving meal. This year, we’re excited to serve our neighbors and share in the joy of a meal with the Break Bread community.

We need volunteers to help prepare food ahead of time, as well as those who can lend a hand on Thanksgiving Day with setup, serving, and cleanup. There are many ways to help, and every contribution makes a difference.

We’re also partnering with AfterHours Denver to support its Thankful for Long Johns campaign, helping our unsheltered neighbors stay warm as the temperatures drop. In addition to new long johns, we’re collecting new sweat outfits this year to provide extra warmth and comfort during the colder months. These items will be taken downtown and handed out at Network Coffee on Thanksgiving Day.

You can participate by purchasing items through our Amazon Wish List and helping provide these much-needed essentials to our neighbors.

Founded in 2023 by St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch, CO, the St. Andrew Market at the East Community Center focuses on building relationships, walking alongside, and caring for the community. We help to bridge the hunger gap and offer everyday household necessities in a free, safe, and low-barrier market where families can shop for supplemental food, diapers, and hygiene items. We need your help stocking our shelves!

We are asking people to shop for our most current donations needed, grocery gift cards, monetary donations (for volunteers to be able to shop for fresh items the day before), paper, and hygiene products. In addition to our normal grocery needs, in February, March, and April we collect cleaning supplies, trash bags, laundry detergent, and dish soaps.

We are looking for volunteers to shop for fresh items, transport donations from St. Andrew to the market, stock shelves, personal shoppers, and so much more! Please email us if you want to learn more and serve with us at the market.

St. Andrew assists Joshua Station with their Spruce A Room and Community Dinner programs. Spruce A Room involves transforming a room into a home for a family participating in the Joshua Station Transformational Housing Program. Turning an ordinary hotel room into a home for a family is so special; making it a cozy and peaceful space for them by thinking through who the family is. Community Dinner involves preparing, serving, and eating a meal with the families living at Joshua Station.

Doing church in a bar. Feeding people. The mission of AfterHours Denver is to put more love into the world by providing necessities for people who need them, especially the homeless, and by creating places where all are welcome. Each Monday, we meet for service and make 100 PB&J sack lunches to be handed out the next day to those who are unsheltered. Feeding people is our call to worship.

North Littleton Promise builds life-giving relationships with immigrant kids and their families to foster faith, education, and leadership in Christ-centered community.

Break Bread’s mission is reducing hunger and building relationships within our community through free meals and programs that provide nourishment and friendship.

The Mission of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is to work collaboratively toward the prevention of homelessness and the creation of lasting solutions for families, children, and individuals who are experiencing or are at-risk of homelessness throughout Colorado.

St. Andrew has been grateful to partner with Rocky Mountain Diaper Depot (RMDD) since the very beginning. We share a common goal: making sure families have the essentials they need to care for their little ones. St. Andrew supports RMDD’s work through donations and diaper drives, and RMDD helps care for our St. Andrew Market families by providing diapers as needs arise. Through this partnership, we’re part of a much larger network of organizations working together to ease the burden on parents and caregivers. We’re thankful for RMDD and the compassion they bring to our community, helping ensure that families have one less thing to worry about.
