Other Ways to Donate
We are ever grateful for those individuals in our community with a heart for service. As a small non-profit trying to serve such a large and growing need, we rely heavily on the hearts of volunteers and individual donors to help us serve those in need. Cash donations remain our greatest need. If you’re interested in serving with us in other ways, here are a few to consider:
Pray for Us
COMPA Ministries has been around since 1981 and there have been many peaks and valleys during that time. Without the prayers and support of numerous individuals, agency partners, churches, volunteers and others, we may not have made it this far. Moving forward, we continue to need your prayers and support as we launch a unique vocational training program and work to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness.
Volunteer
There is always work to be done when serving such a growing need. You can volunteer your time and energy to help us combat hunger and homelessness in the following areas:
• weekly office/administrative work
• warehouse food sorter
• tradesman (carpenter, pipe fitter, mechanic, etc.)
Food Drives
Get started today doing something for those less fortunate by organizing a food drive through your church, business, school, service club or neighborhood. We’d love to see food drives going on throughout the year. Here are some ideas to consider when organizing a food drive.
Your personal food contributions are always welcomed. Have you ever thought of taking advantage of each week’s sale items at your local grocer, and donating them to COMPA? (Especially the buy one, get one free deals!) The best type of food to donate to us is canned meat, canned fruit, select canned veggies and stews. However, did you know that we can stretch that one can you donate into nearly four cans of our product if you donated the money instead?
Donate Your Car
Looking to unload an well-maintained, still running vehicle? Rather than selling it, why not consider donating the vehicle to COMPA Ministries? You get to help us and get a tax benefit at the same time. Donating a vehicle is easy. Simply, check out Cars Helping Charities for more information. Designate your gift to COMPA and we will reap the proceeds!
Food Donations
The challenge of providing decent food for to area hunger relief agencies is on-going. If you work in the food industry (such as a grocer, a food distributor, farming, etc.), we would love to speak with you about contributing to our daily food resources.
Special Events
Volunteer help is needed with special events during the year including:
• Easter Food Drives
• Project Glean in the Fall
• Denver Broncos Tackle Hunger Food Drive
• 9Cares Colorado Shares Food Drives
Miscellaneous Ways to Help
