All Souls is a Member Faith Community supporting Westside CARES. We join with 23 other faith communities in El Paso County to support our less fortunate neighbors.
This organization supports food pantries, provides clothing, medical care, a mailbox service, rental and utility support, and resource/referrals to our neighbors who are unhoused and to prevent other neighbors from becoming unhoused.
This is done in a variety of ways using Faith Member support and grant funding:
- Non-perishable food donations support six food pantries on the west side.
- A clothing closet provides warm clothing to families
- Annual collections of school supplies support children in need
- Social service referrals are given to support neighbors in need
- General health care is available
- Unhoused neighbors can receive mail on site including ballots for elections
- The annual gift card drive supports family meals during the holiday season
- The Adopt-a-Family program provides gift cards for families for the holidays
- Assistance with rents, mortgage, and utilities for needy families
- Covid tests and vaccinations
- Shelter referrals
The Social Justice Teams asks for your support with seasonal programs that we run through Westside CARES.
Please be generous with your contributions to our donations bin in the vestibule. These items are taken to Westside CARES each week. Non-perishible food items, hygiene supplies, and cleaning supplies are appreciated. You can find a current listing of needed items on their web site below.
You are welcome to volunteer your time with Westside CARES or make personal donations to support our neighbors in need at https://www.westsidecares.org/
