Dinner service will be from 4:45-6:30 and we hope to be back on campus at around 7pm! Please fill out this form to register - it's first come first serve!

Also, thank you to all of the volunteers that participated in the first three Denver Rescue Mission events we held! We had a ton of fun, and it's definitely worth trying out! :)
