About
Jesus on Colfax (JOC) serves the community along East Colfax in Denver and Aurora who are experiencing material poverty and sexual exploitation. The vision is that through this we are rising together out of poverty of soul and circumstance. JOC started by showing up on Tuesday nights at the motels with food and knocking on doors to build relationships and pray with our friends. JOC now has two Family Rooms (drop-in spaces) where people can come, connect, and grow and uses an empowerment model where people earn points for coming to classes, helping with community cleanup, and taking steps toward wellbeing. They can then spend those points in the Family Room store on food, clothing, and hygiene items. The Purchased program serves women experiencing sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.
