Sox Place is a drop in center for street kids that provides a safe haven for them to call home. But it’s not just a drop in center, it’s a church. Doyle and the supporters of Sox Place are dedicated to changing lives one relationship at a time in the heart of Denver. Surrounded by prostitution, heroine use, and meth addiction Doyle dives into the mess of people’s lives and loves them where they are at.
Imagine being 16, 17, or 18 and living on the streets. CNN catches up with some of Denver’s homeless youth to find out what it’s like. It is a story of survival and hope. Most of them have found a home through Sox Place. Even though they face more struggles than most, they have not let their dreams die.
Sox Place is what it is today because of the dedication of a handful of people to love people where they are at. They have earned the right to speak into the lives of the people who come through their doors because of the relationships they build with them. Josh Robinson–the day time drop-in director–says this about his faith, “Us wanting to share our faith is kind-of innate in who we are. That is much better served by not preaching at people. We are able to share our faith because kids trust us.”
Compete for the Street supports Sox Place by spreading awareness, and developing fundraising opportunities through, endurance sporting events. Shawn-the founder of Compete for the Street–catches up with Josh to get the full story on the happenings at Sox Place.
