The offer free lunch to seniors Monday-Friday at 11:30am. They also have food box distribution Friday mornings from 8am-12pm for $1 donation (the food boxes contain $20-$30 worth of food). They also have a free little exercise room right near the gymnasium (some cardio & weightlifting equipment). My favorite service they provide is the FREE ZUMBA CLASSES!!! Classes are Monday-Friday from 9ish am -10ish am (I add the "ish" part because they usually start anywhere from 9:10-9:20 and the class lasts about an hour). Not only are the classes free of charge, they let me bring my kids too (1 year old & 2 year old)! It's not always easy as a mom to find a fitness class that doesn't mind if your kids run around the gym while you work out, so this is a nice little perk, and my kids have made some new friends :) I'm so thankful for SWIC and all the valuable services they provide to my community! See you at Zumba!

It was a first time for my daughter and I but they were very nice with giving us a brief tour about both facilities, how they worked, when they expected deliveries, and how people were able come in via appointment or walk in to get clothing (point system) and groceries. Everyone was so nice. It was a great first experience for my daughter for her volunteer service so we definitely would come back to do the grocery side.

The staff would also take us on various outdoor trips. I obtained my G.E.D in less than 2 months. As well, with their help and job leads, I started work at my first job in the state of Colorado. That made me proud of myself. I was offered housing and other resources upon meeting certain requirements when I left. Urban Peak was really a blessing for me. Keep up the good work.

We were responsible for purchasing the food and creating the menu. After preparing the meal we had a little bit of time to hang out, and this was always my favorite time: sitting around the table hearing about aspirations and news of a new job or a new apartment. Urban Peak has a range of real-life resources, including medical facilities, SAT course training, assistance finding jobs and apartments, etc. Transitioning into adulthood is very hard, and young adults need (and deserve) to have encouragement and a safe place to learn self-reliance. The people who work here and the people they serve deserve your admiration and support.

There have been giant holes in our hearts ever since he died. This is one of the reasons we always participate in "Dining Out For Life." The Angels took such good care of him before he passed, oh so many years ago. A simple check on him and the dropping off of food made me feel better when I couldn't be there. He would get a kick out of the idea that the ball-n-chain and I were out eating and drinking beer and toasting his name. "Drink to me" were Pablo Picasso's last words. Thomas was an artist and would have been down with that. There are always people at the event who have envelopes so you can drop off an extra bit of money for the cause. I highly encourage it. If I win the lotto, this is where my money is going.

Yes, this food pantry is more like an actual store. I really like that idea. People can shop and put into their cart/boxes what they'd like to take home and checkout, but do not have to pay. Speaking to one of the workers, it's less about qualifying to be able to shop here, but more about setting an appointment during business hours using limited information and you can come shop. It's a great way for people who need a little bit of help to get some relief without having to feel so exposed or desperate. There is a great variety of donations and staples provided here at Metro Caring. They do work to avoid less sugary, unhealthy snacks and I respect that! There are too many examples of how less expensive, unhealthy food is what many people end up eating. They have a produce area, dried goods, many starches, beans, teas/beverages, cooler items, snacks, and more. I'm very impressed with this place!
