About Community
Ministry
In 1968, a group of women attended a conference on Affluence about Poverty in Denver to discover that the community that they lived in was considered to be a "poverty pocket." They decided to be an agent of change and Community Ministry of Southwest Denver was born with the mission of helping meet the basic needs of people who were facing economic hardship and related problems.
