There’s a void in the sharing of God’s love. There are good people that want to be a part of something bigger, but they are being left out, excluded, and avoided by mainstream church communities. Many of these people work late nights, frequent bars, and have dirty mouths. We are those people and we seek to create spaces where such misfits, outcasts, and rogues can seek, experience, and participate in God’s love. Our community meets in bars to make sack lunches for people in homelessness, have deep conversations about God, and share our burdens and joys with one another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e4a4f7455d4178d3dcec62/f0856120-f05f-4cbe-9976-eeee813d0013/IMG_0286.JPG Home - Beer & PB&J & God & AfterHours Every time we gather together at the bar, we make over 100 PB&J sack lunches that we serve the next day to people experiencing homelessness. Feeding people is our Call to Worship. AfterHours and our partners provide 20,000 meals per year to people who need them. We believe in loving boldly and offering ourselves in service. Because in the end you gotta share your life to receive it. AfterHours is a community of individuals from across the socio-economic spectrum with various beliefs, sexual orientations, genders, and backgrounds. Sharing life can happen anywhere and it seems that when we break bread together, serve one another, or sit down at a table with a drink, this kind of sharing comes naturally. Turns out Jesus wants this too. https://afterhoursdenver.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-05-20 https://afterhoursdenver.org/about-us daily 0.75 2025-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e4a4f7455d4178d3dcec62/53f737f3-75dc-49c2-94ec-c479185247ef/202907019_4153843948041472_8237684881252535925_n.jpg About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e4a4f7455d4178d3dcec62/315803e9-bc27-4234-a0c3-066081d142a6/90235716_2879775828781630_5420001685328101376_o.jpg About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e4a4f7455d4178d3dcec62/878e9519-4480-4a73-bfc1-7b9c8aa1aa52/no+words.png About Us - Make it stand out Reconciling Ministries Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e4a4f7455d4178d3dcec62/114b53e5-5cd4-4d6b-8907-38a957cc0695/120148303_3393261820766359_6853313373670100082_n.jpg About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e4a4f7455d4178d3dcec62/41cb1d62-64cf-4907-80b6-ed3ffeba732a/IMG_2155.jpeg About Us - Logan Robertson, Pastor/Director Logan has served churches and homeless service providers in Denver and beyond since 2011.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Now volunteers bring an assortment of new and gently used items to the park to help make Christmas Day something special for folks who might not otherwise receive special items. In turn, they serve people experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty. Setting up a free market full of new shoes, boots, backpacks, hand-warmers, hats, gloves, coats, clothing, hygiene items, cold weather sleeping bags, and MORE.

On Thanksgiving the city is filled with people sharing free food to those in need. Since hunger is addressed by so many others on that day we decided to do something different and offer a gift of warmth. We're collecting NEW thermal underwear sets (top and bottom): sized Large and X-Large. Buy where you can find a good deal and deliver them to us on Thanksgiving Day or check out our wishlist on Amazon. https://afterhoursdenver.org/where-we-meet daily 0.75 2026-04-02 https://afterhoursdenver.org/take-action daily 0.75 2025-06-26 https://afterhoursdenver.org/what-we-do daily 0.75 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e4a4f7455d4178d3dcec62/9b22c0c0-9124-40bc-bb5c-f48b78b1af32/205151243_4158583440900856_2013712944644513546_n.jpg What We Do - Serving Lunches, Spreading Love AfterHours and partners show up throughout the week to serve anyone who’s hungry—for a lunch, for a smile, or for love.

Send us a note on our contact page. Supplies Bread for 100 sandwiches (see serving size, typically one loaf = ~10 sandwiches) Peanut butter: 5 [40oz] jars (creamy not crunchy) Jam/Spread (better than “jelly”): 2 [42oz] Costco jars or 3 [32oz] jars from regular grocery 100+ chewy granola/nutrigrain type breakfast bars (chewy not crunchy) 100+ snack sized chip bags 80 bottles of water 100+ fruit: if not fresh fruit, don't forget spoons All bags of Cuties are not created equal. Consider how many cuties appear to be in each bag. You must count Cuties. Tablecloth Sandwich bags: come in boxes of 125, generally Brown paper bags (think about what fruit you’re buying. Bigger bags are better for bananas (#6 bags for cuties or fruit cups, #8 bags for bananas) Plastic/latex gloves Utensils for spreading peanut butter and jelly 3 straight spatulas or flexible silicone spatulas Spoons Some Further Notes on Supplies A Note for AfterHours The Jims have thousands of plastic gloves, ask them to bring some. Bread White bread or a “smooth/honey” variety of wheat is better than the nut and bolts, sticks and twigs type of bread. Consider that our friends taking shelter outside may not be used to a fiber rich diet. Take a look at your loaves of bread. Are the heels super small? If they are very small you’ll need to consider buying an extra loaf. Granola Look at the box through eyes that have no teeth. Can you eat them easily? Crunchy granola bars are impossible if your teeth are in bad condition In all things, consider hospitality. Who are your guests who are eating this meal? What is the condition of their body, mouth, teeth, gut? Is your bread in good condition or is it frozen/smooshed? What would you want to eat? How to Accomplish This Efficiently Sandwiches Under ideal conditions you will have three sandwich making stations. Each station will include: One peanut butter spreader One jam spreader One bagger Each person who handles unpackaged food should wear gloves. Peanut butter should be spread on both pieces of bread, which protects the bread from getting soggy from the jam. Spreading peanut butter with a straight metal spatula or a flexible silicone variety is a lot easier than a regular kitchen knife. As long as they are robust, use the heels with the crust side turned in! Jam doesn’t need to be perfectly spread on each sandwich, but it also shouldn’t be slapped on in a big glob. Again, consider what you would want to eat. Then place each sandwich in a sandwich bag. Finally, move the completed sandwiches to be ready to be placed in a lunch sack. Extra sandwiches: if you end up with bread for more than 100 lunches, make the sandwiches, bag them, and place them back in a bag one of your loaves came in. Sacks A separate station should be set up where at least 2 or 3 people open brown paper bags and place within: Granola bar Fruit Chips The order matters! All the bags can be prepped like this while sandwiches are being made and staged to wait for sandwiches. As sandwiches are completed they can be placed in the paper bags vertically, next to the chips. Then the top of the finished bag should be quickly rolled down before it is placed in whatever vessel you’ve chosen to transport your lunches. A note on volunteers Maybe it’s not a coincidence that it takes about 12 people to do this efficiently. It’s possible to have too many cooks in the kitchen! If you have more than 15 people, some can sit and chat or just vibe. Fewer than 8 helpers is going to be pretty slow. Blessing At AfterHours we like to bless the lunches when they are complete, just as we would ask for a blessing over a meal we would share together. https://afterhoursdenver.org/store daily 0.75 57696-05-28
