Denver Rescue Mission

The Denver Rescue Mission
was chosen as Hammersmith’s quarterly non-profit recipient. HMI team members
supported the Denver Rescue Mission by volunteering time to prepare and serve
meals to Denver’s homeless.

Twenty-five Hammersmith
employees volunteered throughout one Saturday, which was divided up into three
shifts. Close to 1,000 meals were served that day and Hammersmith’s efforts
saved the Mission $2,500 in payroll. Several team members offered thoughts
about their time volunteering:

“It was an eye-opener.
They are very organized and everyone there was a pleasure to work with.”

“It was difficult to see
the stark face of poverty when I live in a world of such abundance. I think the
Rescue Mission serves hope as much as they do food.”

“It was a  very special night for my family. We laughed
a lot and really felt good about what we were doing. It was rewarding and
eye-opening because many of the ‘homeless’ seemed like regular people that you
would know.”

“My family continued to
say how good it felt to  give back to the
community and help out in such an important way. Thank you for giving us the
opportunity to represent Hammersmith!”
