Advocates for Children and Families, Inc. (ACF) was founded in 1992 to provide ethical adoption services to children and families. Throughout our 30 years of operation there have been many changes in legislation and advances in the evidence-based social sciences related to adoption, that have influenced our model of practice. One aspect of our work that has never changed is ACF's child-centered approach of prioritizing the well-being of children. Our mission is to promote and assist in the formation of stable families. The well-being of children is our priority. We believe every child deserves a permanent home in a safe, nurturing environment.  Our team is comprised of attorneys, licensed mental health professionals, and support staff who are specially trained and continually engaged in advancements within the field of child welfare and adoption. ACF's commitment to advocating for children and families has resulted in over 1,026 children finding stability and permanency within a nurturing family.

Founded in 1892, the Denver Rescue Mission is the oldest full-service Christian charity serving the poor and needy in the Rocky Mountain region.  The Denver Rescue Mission exists to meet people at their physical and spiritual points of need.  It is our aim to return the poor, needy and homeless to society as self-sufficient, productive community members.  We do this through meals, shelter, food and clothing distribution, education, medical care, Christian counseling, case management, work discipline, transitional housing programs, and assistance for permanent housing. Programs The Lawrence Street Shelter is the Mission's most recognizable location.  Many refer to it simply as "Jesus Saves," because of the neon Jesus Saves sign that adorns the corner of the building.  This facility shelters up to 200 men nightly, 300 in inclement weather.  Emergency care is provided through meals, shelter, food boxes and clothing distribution.  Our clinic is also located here and provides medical care mainly for program residents.

At Turner's Heroes, we are strong believers that every patient is a Superhero; all we do is provide the capes! Our first mission is to support pediatric patients in the children's hospital setting through superhero-themed, cape-decorating events. Our second mission is to facilitate engagement and support for patients within their communities. This is done through "Hero Days" where communities come together to dedicate a day to patients while fundraising and garnering support for patients in their community. Finally, we fundraise for a cure for pediatric cancer through the funding of Discovery Grants: innovative $50,000 grants that find new ways to combat pediatric cancer.
