On the verge of closure, Denver nonprofit finds new space in 11th hour

DENVER Members of a Denver nonprofit organization are breathing a sigh of relief after finding a new home in the 11th hour.
Feeding Denver s Hungry, a nonprofit food pantry that helps those in need, found out in April the donated space they were working out of was going to be rented out to someone else.
Jim Scharper, the organization s founder, had nowhere else to go and began giving away all of his food to other nonprofits so it wouldn t go to waste.

DENVER A founder of a Denver non-profit has spent the last few days tearing down what he spent more than a decade building.
The tone in Jim Scharper s voice was filled with heartache. I didn t see this coming at all, he said. Kind of a real shock to us when we found out we had 30 days to get out of here.
For the last two years, Scharper ran Feeding Denver s Hungry, a food bank, out of donated warehouse space on Jason Street. Last week, he got word that the space was going to be rented out to someone else.
