Boulevard of Hope

Led by Mark O'Brien, The Boulevard of Hope [BOH] is an urban, direct city-outreach ministry serving the residents of Denver, Lakewood, Aurora and Golden, Colorado, with an emphasis on poor, low income, and marginalized people including those dealing with homelessness. Additionally, BOH serves and supports people in transition, including veterans and formally incarcerated individuals.

 

Through the ministry of steady presence and availability, Boulevard of Hope serves and supports the least of these through friendship in the spirt of Christ developing personal one-to-one relationships which includes mentoring and discipleship. BOH helps connect people with housing, and mental health, medical, counseling, and addiction recovery services. BOH also provides clothing, coats, hats, gloves, socks, sleeping bags, hand warmers, tarps, water, food, personal hygiene items, and other essentials to people surviving on the streets. Mark spends on average 40 days/nights on cold-severe weather outreach assisting people to get inside during the storm.
