Putting on the Ritz

Urban Peak Homeless Shelter for homeless young people reaches out to those in need on a monthly basis in a unique partnership with the Ritz-Carlton, a newly opened (2008) 5 star hotel in the Denver, Colorado area. Every third Thursday of the month, a complimentary dining event is made up for the youth. Employees and even guests of the Ritz-Carlton get into the action by cooking and serving breakfast to the poor at the Urban Peak homeless shelter.

Would you like to join the team? Put on your “chef’s hat” for the entire morning -- whether flipping pancakes or rolling up burritos, this is an opportunity to have fun, interact with the youth and get involved in the local community. Family members under the age of 18 are welcome to volunteer in the meal preparation but must be accompanied by an adult. Urban Peak is located just minutes from the Ritz-Carlton property, and offers extensive services for homeless and runaway youth; the organization helps guide teens and young adults out of homelessness and other life challenges by providing safety, respect, essential services and a supportive community, empowering them to become self-reliant and more successful in life.
