Outreach Ministry
The Outreach Ministry encourages First Plymouth members to view themselves as the hands and feet of Jesus through education about the needs of people in our community, active participation and giving to others.
Share-The-Plate
Can Do Sunday
On the second Sunday of the month, congregants bring food and money to store in the Can Do Cupboard, which we donate to Metro Caring, a food bank serving Denver for over 50 years.
Angel Tree
In November each year, we sponsor the Angel Tree. Congregants select a recipient from the tree and donate toys and clothing to families identified by various community organizations.
Share-the-Plate: This Month
First Plymouth Congregational Church welcomes back Aurora Interfaith as its Share-the-Plate partner for September 2026.
Aurora Interfaith has served the Aurora, Colorado community for more than 50 years by providing food assistance and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing hardship.
Guided by its mission of Food + Faith = Love, the organization operates a food pantry, Mobile Fresh Market, and a Community Navigation Program, helping thousands of neighbors access nutritious food, housing resources, utility assistance, and other essential services each year.
Powered by dedicated volunteers, faith communities, and generous donors, Aurora Interfaith believes that everyone deserves dignity, compassion, and hope. By addressing both immediate needs and the underlying causes of food insecurity, the organization works to strengthen families and build a more caring, connected
community.
Your Share-the-Plate gifts online or through cash donations when the collection plate is passed during Sunday services at First Plymouth help Aurora Interfaith provide meals, fresh produce, and life-changing support to local individuals and families facing difficult times.
Ready to Work
This organization provides a unique and highly-effective combination of employment, housing, and support that breaks the expensive cycles of homelessness, incarceration and chronic unemployment. The Ready to Work program is the first stepping stone to self-sufficiency. After approximately one year, trainees graduate to mainstream jobs and permanent housing. Their average success rate of 74%.
First Plymouth’s connection with Ready to Work is not only through financial support, but through our Creation Justice team who help feed trainees that are staying in the facility with additional training being provided for recycling and composting.
Denver Inner City Parish
First Plymouth’s connection with Denver Inner City Parish goes back more than 50 years, in order to maintain a hands-on location for inner city ministry. DICP serves approximately 25,000 people annually, focusing on hunger, education, health and wellness, and community support. Church volunteers have been involved in teaching in the schools, providing community resources, and staffing the food bank. We also host more than 500 guests at the annual Thanksgiving Dinner.
