Denver Friends Church has welcomed visitors in have since January 10th. Senior Pastor Keith Reeser stated that their participants are understaffed and that it’s time to stop providing over solutions.

Denver’s group immigrant shelters will continue to be operational despite scheduled releases.
Reeser said 200 refugees have stayed in the religion’s improvised shelter since it opened.
” If you’re in the temple world, it feels like the always- ending switch- in is what I call it”, the top priest explained.
Reeser said it’s exhausted his crew because at least one charity stays awake all night on the night shift for emergency purposes. That’s why Denver Friends Church made the decision to end its over house permanently at the end of the fortnight.
” It’s a hard thing when the time approaches. You think about all the reports, all the people that we’ve been able to serve. What will they do next? What are they going to do? Will they be risk-free”? said Reeser.
Some people may be taken to Denver Community Church on Saturday morning to spend a few weeks there.
