Bethany’s team at IFCS Fresh Market needs more adult volunteers! We serve on the first Wednesday of each month, 8:00–11:30 AM, helping guide clients as they shop and restocking shelves as needed. We aim to send 5–6 volunteers monthly, and having a few extras helps cover vacations and last-minute conflicts.

Location: IFCS, 3370 S. Irving St, Englewood, 80110
To volunteer or learn more, contact Kevin Dempsey at kmdmpsy@aol.com or 303-699-1629.

Bethany will be gathering food donations during the summer months for our partner, Integrated Family Community Services (IFCS). IFCS offers a free food market, and other resources, to help individuals and families achieve self-sufficiency.

For Sundays in June, we will be collecting boxes of cereal - either cornflakes or cheerios. A table will be set up in the Fellowship Hall to gather the cereal each Sunday. If you'd prefer to make a cash donation, these can be made by using the Give button on Bethany's website and choosing Integrated Family Community Services in the drop-down Fund menu.

Who can? We can! Let's help IFCS fight food insecurity by helping to keep their food shelves stocked this summer.

Fostering Children Takes a Village

LFSRM’s foster families need support to help them provide a nurturing environment for the children they care for. As a foster parent, you never know what age of child you are getting, so parents need to be able to quickly pivot and provide the right things for lots of different age groups. Our foster care staff have gathered a wish list of item foster parents would LOVE for the children in their care. Please use the link to purchase needed items that will go directly to foster parents! https://a.co/2ybn6nD
