You've also supported KOOL and many charitable causes, helping people all over Denver, and for that we thank you! But our work isn't done yet. This web page is a chance for us to increase public awareness of some of our favorite causes and charities around the metro area. So if you have a few extra hours or a few extra dollars and are looking to donate to a reputable charity, you can count on KOOL's Cause of the Month to keep you up to date. Thanks for caring, Denver!
Father Woody’s Haven of Hope
The mission of Father Woody’s Haven of Hope is to provide Food, Shelter, Clothing, Counseling, Rehabilitation, and Hygiene Services to the Homeless and Indigent. Msgr. C.B. Woodrich, known as Denver’s “Patron Saint of the Poor,” was the inspiration for all of our programs. His legacy continues in many ways long after his death in 1991. Did you know that last year more than 19,000 meals were served to the homeless through Father Woody’s Haven of Hope?
In addition, we provided:
- More than 1000 haircuts
- 3000 showers
- 500 food baskets
- More than 1000 loads of laundry for the homeless.
- More than $16,000 of financial assistance for rental, medical and utilities payments on behalf of those in need.
All of this was done on a budget of less than $60,000 per year, thanks to the generosity of donors of in kind goods and services, and volunteers.
How You Can Help…
* Would you like to honor someone in a very special way?
* Have you ever known or been acquainted with someone who has lost everything?
If so, buy a leaf on the Tree of Hope to be painted in the Dining Area of the new building, Father Woody’s Haven of Hope.
To Preserve your Legacy…
Each leaf will be personalized with your name or the name of someone you want to honor and an optional message. Each leaf will be hand painted onto the tree, located in the dining area of Father Woody’s Haven of Hope, 707 Lipan St in Denver.

KOOL Cause of the Month Partners with the Daniels Fund:
KOOL 105 is proud to partner with the Daniels Fund for Cause of the Month. Philanthropist Bill Daniels loved America and believed each of us has a duty to offer help and hope to others. He established the Daniels Fund in 1997 to support programs that encourage personal responsibility and achievement. When Bill died in the year 2000, the bulk of his estate transferred to Daniels Fund, making it the largest foundation in the Rocky Mountain Region.
In the Fund's articles of incorporation, Bill directed the foundation to concentrate its efforts in two primary areas: College Scholarships and Community Support, including programs designed to help the homeless, physically handicapped and elderly individuals, as well as those suffering from substance abuse and mental handicaps.
