Mission Statement
Senior Support Services has been Denver's only day shelter exclusively for people age 60+ since 1976. Our mission is to make each day better and safer for older adults experiencing food insecurity, housing instability, and other effects of poverty. We do this by providing a variety of critical services including meals, a clothing bank, and case management focused on obtaining/retaining affordable housing and government benefits. To give you an idea of our impact, in 2023 we saw 1,500 members, served over 40,000 meals, and provided over 6,000 case management sessions.
