Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 6, 2026 — The Springs Rescue Mission is set to hold its second annual 24-hour event, titled “Conversations on a Bench,” on its campus in Colorado Springs. This initiative is designed to encourage community dialogue surrounding the complex issue of homelessness.
The event is scheduled to commence on Thursday at noon and will continue uninterrupted for 24 hours, concluding on Friday at noon. A key feature of “Conversations on a Bench” is its livestreamed format, allowing a broader audience to engage with the discussions as they unfold.
The objective of the event is to foster a collaborative environment where various community members can share perspectives and ideas related to homelessness. The participants invited to engage in these discussions represent a range of local stakeholders. This includes government officials, representatives from service provider organizations, and crucially, individuals who have direct, lived experience with homelessness.
This marks the second year The Springs Rescue Mission has organized this particular event, indicating a continued commitment to addressing homelessness through community engagement and dialogue. The campus location in Colorado Springs serves as the central hub for the initiative.
