On Wednesday evening, December 10th youth, mentors and volunteers joined at First United Methodist Church in Fort Collins for a Christmas Party hosted by Steppin’ Out.

Thanks to Steppin Out, the Fellowship Hall at First United Methodist was festively decorated and plenty of tasty food was available for all. Thanks to a generous community, every one of the youth in the Matthews House program received not only a gift card, but a gift bag of goodies to open. For more pictures, come visit our blog

On 9/27, the Fort Collins Diakonos Brotherhood hosted a BBQ for Matthews House youth. The afternoon began when 10-15 members of the brotherhood roared up to the Matthews House on their Harleys! The youth loved it! The BBQ took place on one of the few remaining sunny Saturdays in 2008 in the Matthews House backyard. Several youth came along with some family members and friends to enjoy the delicious feast prepared by the Diakonos Brotherhood. The brothers were able to meet and interact with some of the youth, while sharing personal stories and similar life experiences with them.

We are thankful for the generosity of the Diakonos Brotherhood and are looking forward to partnering with them to have monthly events!

Please join us for a complimentary breakfast to hear the testimony of those the Matthews House has touched personally and to learn more about how the Matthews House is changing the lives of at-risk youth in our community.

In this one-hour program you will have the opportunity to hear directly from youth and mentors about their experience at the Matthews House, about the vision and heart of the organization from Founder and Executive Director, Jerri Howe and about the opportunity and responsibility the community has to come alongside and change the lives of these youth forever from former Fort Collins mayor Ray Martinez.
