DU Gleans!

Along with the Office of the Chaplain, DU IFA recently held our first service project of the year. We harvested cabbages at a field in Brighton, CO, along with many other volunteers from the Denver area. The program was overseen and orchestrated by COMPA Ministries out of Denver. In two hours, we collected enough cabbages to send to 170 food banks in the metro area, which will distribute the cabbage to thousands of individuals in need.

Our Welcome

Come, come whoever you are.
Wanderer, idolater, worshipper of fire,
Come even though you have broken your vows a thousand times
Come, and come yet again.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.

-Rumi

The DU Interfaith Student Alliance (IFA) is a group of students committed to facilitating an understanding of the diverse religious traditions that comprise the DU community.  

 

We work to celebrate the variety of faiths on campus through collaborative events, forums and service projects. We provide a safe space for religious dialogue and education, thereby modeling religious tolerance and inclusive excellence on The University of Denver Campus  

The IFA does not endorse any one particular religion or faith tradition, but serves as an equal resource and support for all.
