Hidden on the edge of Denver's most colorful neighborhoods, the color purple is making a name for itself. It's the color of the front door at The Purple Door coffee shop, a place that does much more than serve coffee and tea.
“It has high value, and so whenever you walk through that door, anyone knows you have worth and value，” said Jenna Williams, who has worked at the coffee shop for one year.
But it's the people behind the counter (柜台) who are benefiting the most from finding their worth and value. The people taking orders and serving coffee were all homeless.
“They've given me so many second chances，” said Jenna, a 23-year-old who had been living on the streets since she was 15. “It's all about love.
We're not just a business. We are a family.”
The Purple Door takes in young adults, and gives them a job for one year. It' s a non-profit (非营利机构) that also helps them find a place to live, giving
them a chance to re-enter a good life.
It's the brainchild of Madison Chandler and Mark Smesrud, who opened the coffee shop two years ago.
“The hardest thing about this job for me has been how to balance pushing someone to become better and being patient with them when they fail，”Madison said.
Part of that struggle came last October, when Jenna nearly lost her job. The Purple Door helped Jenna by using a 52-week program.
“It helped me pull away from the bad situation I was in in October，” she said.
The Purple Door has about a 50 percent success rate, though Mark adds that those who have not accomplished the program may still benefit from what they have learned.
Jenna soon got back on track, and recently finished her one-year
program, landing a full-time job at the famous coffeehouse Starbucks.
“The Purple Door coffee family gave me the chance no one else would. They understood，” she said. “This program works and it's exactly what ‘Street Kids’ needed.”
