Denver nonprofit faces no heat as it continues serving community

DENVER (KDVR) — A Denver nonprofit, around since the summer of 2020, continues its mission of serving the community, despite the loss of heat.
For the past three years "Cats Not Cops" has operated out of the Holy Trinity Church of God in Christ Church in downtown Denver. Thursday, the group handed out meals on Thanksgiving for the fifth straight year.
Recently the nonprofit's president says the building has gone without heat. The heating troubles have also affected church services, shuttering the building as the cold hinders the nonprofit's mission.
"Right now, it is impacting us," said president and CEO Tara De La Fuente.
The church was built in 1947, and the nonprofit was established during the rise of COVID-19 and the 2020 civil unrest in America. The nonprofit is now relying on the warmth of the community it serves.
Despite the setback, the church and its mission, continue on.
"We never let anything stop us," De La Fuente said.
Donations can be made through Venmo to @catsnotcopsdenver, or can be sent to 1415 Park Avenue West, Denver, CO, 80205.
