Outreach
At Saint James, we strive to serve those in need in our own community and in the greater Denver area, as well as those who live far from us, whom we likely will never meet. Among our regular outreach projects:
We regularly stock an outdoor pantry in our yard with non-perishable food and cold weather items and invite all who are in need to simply take what they need.
Every Sunday we collect donations of food and clothing to be taken to local food banks and shelters for distribution.
On every 5th Tuesday of the month, we send a team of volunteers to St. Clare's, 126 W. 2nd Ave., Denver, a ministry to the homeless and hungry of Denver's Baker neighborhood. To learn more or to sign up to be part of our next St. Clare's night, contact our Parish Administrator, Denise Gonzales.
We periodically stage fund-raisers to respond to critical needs elsewhere. Among our recent efforts: A spaghetti supper to assist Episcopal Relief & Development's flood relief efforts in Texas; a pinwheel drive to support the Ralston House child abuse prevention efforts; a cereal drive to help Project Angel Heart provide extra nutrition to ailing clients in need; collecting gift cards for distribution to families in need.

We raised more than $1,000 for hurricane relief efforts at our spaghetti supper
People could take ornaments from our giving tree at Christmas that correspond to items needed by clients of Casa de paz, an organization that helps immigrants in our community. They returned the needed items, which we delivered.
