Visit our booth in front of the Denver Post building Colfax and Broadway.  

250,000 people expected for this year’s PrideFest

The parade is on June 28th and we need people to walk or if you are unable to walk - ride our bus to show that RECOVERY HAPPENS!!  (From Cheeseman Park to Civic Center Park)

Start a recovery team.  Make T-shirts, banners, anything to promote recovery.  The more people we have the better.

Please be at Cheeseman Park between 8:30am and 8:45am next Sunday the 28th, look for the Orange section

And look for our big yellow school bus; it will say “Easy Transportation” on the side.

For more information please contact Mark Wonder at 303.882.2172 or Zackaria B. at 303.408.7123. 

If you are an addictions counselor we need volunteers to step to the plate to help assist if we have folks that have immediate questions.

NOW - let’s have a great time putting Recovery at the forefront of our community, TOGETHER!!  

Recovery has no boundaries.

Economic Struggles

We are sad to announce that SBR will not be hosting the monthly Feeding the Homeless event in May or June.  We simply do not have the funds to do so.

We will be back in July at the usual place and time. 

This does not mean that we are not continuing to collect clothing, food and money.  If you would like to help our efforts please contact Mark Wonder or Julie Jacks.
