The ministry also creates opportunities to support Denver community events.
Sixth Avenue United Church of Christ (UCC) works in partnership with Bread for the World encouraging our government to take a more active role in tackling the causes of hunger in our nation and in the world.
We help by advocating as a collective Christian voice through letter writing campaigns to our legisaltive representatives. Learn how you can help.
Bread for the World helps churches like ours support families on the margins. We join forces with other Colorado churches in a variety of anti-poverty campaigns in order to be a part of ending hunger around the world!
Local Community Collaboration
Capitol Hill United Ministries (CHUM) and Capitol Hill United Neighbors (CHUN) represent two of our local community ministry partners.
A simple way to be involved in the community is through Capitol Hill United Ministries (CHUM), an interfaith coalition united in service to people living in the Capitol Hill area. Sixteen churches including our own participate with CHUM. Since 1989, the “CHUM Coupon Redemption Program” has raised $614,000 dollars and poured that money back into the community for the benefit of those who are homeless, hungry, or ill.
Capitol Hill United Ministries allocates an average $2,000 a month to various faith-based service agencies on Capitol Hill. Incredibly, all that money comes from the coupons that we and members of the other area churches supply on Sundays. The coupons go to Warren United Methodist Church, where from 9am to 11.30 on Monday mornings volunteers clip, stamp, and sort coupons. Other volunteers then take the coupons to King Soopers at 9th and Downing and attach them to the appropriate products. A customer who buys one of these products may use the coupon personally, or donate it to CHUM. That's how store coupons brought to church do so much good in our neighborhood.
Bring your newspaper coupons to Sixth Avenue any time. Put them on the back table, any time and help our neighbors in Capitol Hill.
Sixth Avenue participates with Family HomeStead, the only agency in the City of Denver that exists to provide independent housing and case management solely to homeless families with children.
At the start of the school year, Sixth Avenue collects school supplies. During the holidays, Sixth Avenue contributes gifts to a family from Family Homestead's Adopt-A-Family program.
Members of our community of faith support food drives held each communion Sunday. Please bring non-perishable items to church on the first Sunday of each month. Items of most need: rice, pasta, cereal, canned fruits, canned vegetables, tuna, soup, and baby food.
During the holidays, special meals are contributed to the Denver Inner City Parish, an interdenominational community-centered program on the west side of Denver.
Sixth Avenue participates in Dining Out for Life, an event organized by the local charity Project Angel Heart to raise funds to provide meals for persons living with HIV/AIDS.
Special Offerings within the United Church of Christ help us to be a part of changing lives locally and globally through the efforts of our church. Here are five ways to be involved.
Special Support for issues related to justice, advocacy, and compassion include the following opportunities.
“One Great Hour of Sharing” which channels recourses for international programs related to health, education, agricultural development, emergency relief, the care of refugees, and national and international disaster relief work.
“Strengthen the Church” supports leadership for new and revitalizing congregations as well as youth and young adult programs and leadership development.
“The Christmas Fund” helps to provide pension and health premium supplements for retired clergy and church workers as well as assistance to clergy families in need.
