Day Laborer Outreach

Or as we fondly call it . . . the burrito ministry.  A dedicated team distributes warm breakfast burritos every Tuesday morning to day workers at five Longmont locations.   Join us for outreach!

This is a 30-45 minute commitment every Tuesday morning @ 5:30 am. 

We gather at CENTRALongmont, pray, split into teams, and deliver burritos/make new friends.


Volunteers needed to distribute burritos.   Sign up here.


Help make burritos! - This is a 2 hour commitment about every 6 weeks. We gather to

cook, assemble burritos, and clean! We even have fun catching up on

what's happening in our lives. We make about 250 burritos each time.


For more info contact Jennifer Haratsaris or Erin Foley.

Cafe Justo is a grower owned Coffee Cooperative based in sourthern Chiapas , Mexico, formed to address the poverty and migration from Mexico to the U.S.A.  


CENTRALongmont will place orders for coffee from Café Justo at a price of $10/lb or $40/5lbs.  Place your order and make your payment online, or in Fellowship Hall.         

 

The Benefits of Buying Café Justo

  • The coffee is organically grown, is delicious, and a good value
  • ALL revenues go to the grower’s Cooperative in Chiapas
  • It allows the coffee farmers to remain in their homeland. 
  • The Café Justo drinker helps support development of new spin-off jobs and economic development south of the border.   
  • By allowing co-op members to stay home and earn a "just wage," Café Justo addresses the double tragedies of families split apart by migration to the United States and of migrants dying in the desert trying to get here. 

ending hunger

CENTRALongmont sponsors a yearly food drive  for The Round Pantry @ Westview.  The food drive is held during the month of February, but we also collect non-perishable items for the Pantry throughout the year.  The Round Pantry @ Westview, a food bank for anyone needing food assistance, is open 2-7 pm the 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month.  They are located at 1500 Hover St., Longmont.  If you have questions about the Round Pantry or want to sign up to volunteer, please reach out to The Round Pantry.


Our youth also help us participate in the annual Souper Bowl of Caring which occurs each year on Super Bowl Sunday.  It is a great kick-off to the annual food drive in February.  We also have many dedicated individuals who organize a Crop Walk team each fall.

Recovery Cafe is a community of refuge and healing for people in recovery.  RCL supports adults as they rebuild their lives and break the cycle of addiction, or overcome a recent stress or trauma.  They strive  to stand in the gap between crisis and stability, by fostering community-building and life-empowerment.  

And we are so blessed to have them as tenants in our building.  Many at CENTRALongmont donate home-cooked meals for their daily communal lunches or work with their members.  

Interested in helping too?  Contact RCL.
