“We believe that people matter… and because they matter to God, they matter to us.“ -Dennis Van Kampen, President/CEO

Our community will celebrate a new beginning. Coming early 2027!
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more thanall we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. – Ephesians 3:20

Last year 75 individuals moved out of homelessness and into stable housing after accessing services at Fort Collins Rescue Mission.
That’s 75 individuals that are no longer living on the streets in our community. And the new homeless resolution center will allow us to double or even triple that number annually in the years to come.
“There’s a lot of people out there on the street who need help, who just can’t get in here because of space limitations and resource limitations. A bigger building is going to impact Fort Collins, as well. It’s going to get homeless people in here bettering their lives.” James, Shelter Guest
“One of the things that we have experienced when 50 people sit down [in the cafeteria] at one time—everyone just feels anxious… When we only sat 20 people at a time, you just see calmness…. That is what going from our small building to the new building will do: people will be able to relax, refocus, …and get the help that they need.”
Paula Ordaz, Director of Fort Collins Rescue Mission

“This place gets me off the streets; it’s open year-round and they have permanent bed options for people who have a goal to better themselves. It is nice not to take my food out of a dumpster. They give me the stability to try to get things accomplished to get out of this situation.”
We want to do More Than… we ever thought possible to help end homelessness, one life at a time.
