Opportunity Center for the Homeless

Our Story

In the winter of 1994, Ray and Lilly Tullius opened the Opportunity Center for the Homeless in response to the tragic loss of homeless individuals due to exposure in El Paso County. What began as a simple emergency shelter has transformed into a comprehensive recovery service program, offering emergency shelter, permanent and transitional housing, on-site medical and mental health services, and intensive case management. Today, the center serves over 120,000 meals and provides more than 110,000 nights of lodging annually.

Impact

Each year, the Opportunity Center counsels over 2,000 individuals, including men, women, families, and youth, successfully transitioning over 900 into work, training, and educational programs.

Why Donate?

Your contribution can make a significant difference. A $10 donation provides a hot meal for 20 people, while $25 funds a night of safe shelter and essential support services for one individual. Recurring donations ensure that vital services remain available throughout the year.
