Our Mission
Community Outreach Service Center, www.COSCdenver.org, are people working together to build for a better community. Since 1988, COSC has helped thousands of people experiencing homelessness, returning citizens and marginalized individuals find hope through employment, housing, peer support and basic needs resources to build community wealth. Our History
Founded in the parsonage of Agape Christian Church, Community Outreach Service Center has been providing vital community services since 1988 and is an anchor in the Five Points community, serving the needs of all residents, which remain despite the economic revitalization of gentrification. Our values are founded in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who in his speeches encouraged people to keep moving, to crawl if they had to, to walk if they could, to run if it was possible, and then to fly, as we all should. Our Programs:
Employment Workshops
Vocational Training
Employment Placement
One on One/Group Peer Support
ID’s and Birth Certificates
Rental Assistance
Transitional Housing
Suportive Housing
Clothing
Food Pantry
Hygiene Kits
BASIC Project
The People’s Pickles

Our research team at the University of Colorado Boulder is conducting a study titled “Neighborhoods and Health at All Ages.” The purpose of this study is to determine which neighborhood services, amenities, and hazards matter for cognitive health across adulthood. This study has been approved by the CU Boulder IRB (Protocol #26-0138).
Participation involves a 60-80 minute stationary interview in participant’s homes or a public place of their choosing. Participants will also be invited to complete an optional 20-minute go-along mobile interview—a short participant-led walk, drive, bus, or bike ride around their neighborhood.
To be eligible, participants must be 18 years or older, currently reside in the Denver metropolitan area, and be able to provide informed consent. Participants will receive a $50 gift card in recognition of their time and contributions. Findings will help inform policymaking and public health efforts to help build neighborhoods that support cognitive health.
If you or someone you know may be interested in participating, please complete this interest form https://bit.ly/NeighborhoodsandHealth or reach out to our team directly.

What’s Up Wednesday went a little something like this 🙏🏾👏🏾❤️🔥
Sixty people served, Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Cheddar Broccoli and an Ice Cream Sandwich for Dessert!
Happy New Years 2026 from the What's Up Wednesday Movie and Meal Outreach from the Denver Streets.
Over 50 beautiful people joined us today with a movie fitting for 2025: Dumber and Dumber To laughing out this year in fellowship breaking bread and sharing spaghetti.
In 2015, Community Outreach Service Center served 1465 meals on Wednesdays. Today's meal and movie was a great end as New Year's Eve meals do not get the same attention as Thanksgiving and Christmas for the homeless which is why we do this weekly and not just for holidays.
Have a Blessed Safe New Years, everyone!
