ESM Celebrates 25 Years!
Colorado Springs Ecumenical Social Ministries (ESM) was established as a nonprofit organization in 1982 by eight large downtown churches. Considered an outreach extension for the community, ESM responds to the emergency social service needs of low income, homeless and unemployed individuals and families in the Pikes Peak Region.  

Did You Know?
The majority of people ESM helps are the working poor – those who hold low-paying jobs and are unable to meet all of their living needs. These families often face heartbreaking decisions between paying their rent, buying groceries, or providing clothes for their children. 

ESM’s programs offer these people the chance to maintain stability and prevent them from falling further into poverty or homelessness.

"Due to my poor health, I found myself in dire straits to make ends meet. It is a great relief to have ESM there who go out of their way to help. God bless you all."

-John
In response to the Gospel, ESM promotes self-sufficiency and restores dignity by providing food, medicine, housing, job placement, educational programs, and spiritual encouragement.

ESM provides a collaborative Christian response to low income and homeless people in crisis.
