BUT We're Not Done Yet — Help Us Reach $250,000 Our Goal!
This year’s Run for the Door was an incredible success thanks to YOU. With two generous matching gifts—a $100,000 pre-race match and a $10,000 Race Day match—we raised an amazing $239,722.98 to help fight poverty in Denver!
We’re so close to our $250,000 goal, and it’s not too late to make a difference. Every donation counts, and your continued support helps bring hope and transformation to lives in our community.
We enVISION a restored Denver overflowing with vitality and hope in Christ.
Our MISSION is to address poverty, build communities, and cultivate disciples for Christ in Denver.
For nearly 30 years, Open Door Ministries has provided practical help and Christ's hope to people who are overcoming homelessness or poverty in our city. Through 18 distinct programs under four focus areas -- Housing, Children & Youth, Outreach and Leadership Development -- we believe the best way to serve our friends is to surround them with support, holistically empowering them to overcome obstacles, attain self-sufficiency, and thrive!
