This past week, we served 121 guests on the busiest night.

When we reopen, we’ll need to restock a few essentials:
• Disposable coffee cups
• Plates, bowls, and forks
• Canned meats and canned sauces (always appreciated!)

Transportation info:
Transportation generally starts at 6:00 PM. After 11:00 PM, rides are more limited and may take longer, so please call early when you can. Call volume is heavy, so feel free to leave a voicemail or send a text with your location and how many individuals need a ride.

📞 719-401-3111

Daytime transportation hours may be expanded when daytime temperatures are severe.

Businesses are always encouraged to call if you’re aware of anyone who may need transportation.

Even as nighttime temps start to climb and our shelter is closed, it’s still freezing outside and not weather anyone should be sleeping in. We prioritize our resources for the most dangerous cold, but our long-term goal remains the same: opening a full winter shelter so we can expand sheltering beyond extreme-weather nights.

Thank you for supporting our neighbors and helping us be ready when the next cold snap hits. 💛

Even though winter is upon us, remember it’s a great season to recover & prepare for a season of growth in spring.

✨ A Huge Thank You to Silver Key! ✨

Last week, we reached out asking for help with transporting guests to the upcoming shelter. After just a few phone calls, we received news we never expected — Silver Key is donating a bus to HOPE COS.

We want to extend a special thank you to Seth and Aaron from Silver Key for making this happen. Your willingness to jump in, problem-solve, and support our mission means more than we can express.

This donation will make a meaningful impact on our ability to safely transport guests during severe weather and ensure more of our neighbors have access to warmth and safety when they need it most.

Thank you, Silver Key, Seth, and Aaron, for stepping up in such a big way for our community. Your support helps us continue filling gaps and serving with compassion, dignity, and hope. 💛🚌
