🌟 Hope COS is Accepting Applications for Independent Contractor Peer Coaches 🌟

Even though our warming shelter is temporarily closed due to the warmer nights, the HOPE COS team is still out in the community and hard at work. We continue providing street outreach, peer coaching, and parole support—meeting our neighbors where they are and walking with them toward stability.

We’re celebrating several of our guests who have recently transitioned into programs and sober living. These steps forward matter, and they remind us why this work is so important.

To our donors and volunteers: thank you. Your generosity fuels this work every single day.

HOPE continues—on the streets, in relationships, and in every small step toward change.

🚐❄️ Grateful beyond words tonight ❄️🚐

We unexpectedly needed to replace a tire on our bus this evening, and Big O Tires stepped up without hesitation. They assured us they would make time for us whenever we arrived—even at the end of their day—and then mounted the tire on the rim so we could get back on the road and continue serving our community tonight.

This bus is especially critical for us—it’s our only vehicle with a wheelchair ramp, allowing us to safely transport individuals using wheelchairs during these freezing temperatures.

And an enormous thank-you to Alex, who went above and beyond in the freezing cold—tracking down tools and a jack, removing the tire, getting it to Big O, and then driving all the way back to reinstall it so we could keep moving. Because of you, we’re able to keep people safe, warm, and moving when it matters most.

This is what community looks like. 💙

Shelter is open!

Every day can be a beautiful day.

Update- With the temperature drop we reopened this evening (January 20th)!

💙 Shelter Update & Community Gratitude 💙

Our shelter has been open since Thursday, and as temperatures rise above our opening threshold, we will be closing for now. At the same time, we are already preparing to tentatively reopen on Wednesday for what is expected to be another long stretch of sheltering.

We want to pause and say thank you. Because of the generosity of our community and the incredible support from Westside CARES, Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado, and Vista Grande Community Church United Church of Christ members, we have had an abundance of food to serve our guests during this past shelter activation. Warm meals truly make a difference, and our guests feel that care.

As we prepare to reopen, we do have a few immediate needs to help us continue serving with dignity and love:

🧺 Current Needs
• Plastic forks and spoons
• Paper towels and napkins
• Disposable bowls and plates
• Breakfast proteins like eggs or breakfast meats. Our guests are extremely excited about these.
• Boneless chicken, which is quick and easy for us to prepare
• Spices and seasonings such as salt, pepper, and garlic because a little extra love makes everything better ❤️

Thank you for standing with us and showing up for our neighbors when it matters most. We could not do this without you.

If you would like to donate or help in another way, please reach out or drop items off during normal hours or when we reactivate 💙

Huge thank you to Angie Horning and Springs Premier Brokerage, LLC for showing up for HOPE COS once again 💙

On Friday, Angie provided pizza for our shelter guests while everyone was staying inside to stay warm. It was greatly appreciated and disappeared fast. 🍕🍕🍕

Then on Saturday, she sponsored a WhirlyBall team-building day for our staff, which was very much needed after long hours at the shelter. This gave our team a chance to decompress, laugh, and reconnect.💖
