ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- On Tuesday, a handful of Broncos not only helped out in the community, but they got a workout as well.
"I feel like I'm doing a lot of dead lifts, a lot of shoulder shrugs," safety 
Bruton and teammates
"It's great to see people here volunteering and putting the time in to get the food out," Bruton said. "It's the least we can do to give back to the community."
FoodWorks Vice President of Communications Greg Morton was thrilled to have the Broncos offer some assistance.
"It's so cool, and what it means for us is that an organization such as the Denver Broncos recognizes the impact that FoodWorks is having, and is willing to put players behind that to come out and support us," Morton said. "All this food that they are sorting and putting on these cars is going out to feed the homeless and low-income in our community. It's just a way for them to give back and it certainly helps us as a non-profit."
In addition to providing the low-income community with much-needed food, FoodWorks serves as a vocational training agency that gives people an opportunity to get their life back on track by learning valuable career skills.
Individuals start out working in sanitation and steadily work their way up to packaging in the vacuum-seal operation -- skills that make them marketable to potential employers.
"We bring folks that are on the streets, living in transitional housing and we bring them into our program," Morton said. "As they're here they progress up, taking on more and more responsibility. Coupled with that we have a program called 'On Track,' which is basically life skills 101, teaching things like why you need to groom yourself, communication, financial literacy and setting goals for yourself."
Tuesday was a special day for the members of the FoodWorks program and Morton could see the excitement on their faces the moment the Broncos arrived.
"I ran into a few of them as I was walking down here and they were all pretty excited." Morton said. "Their eyes were real big saying, 'Wow, the Broncos are here.'"

The Broncos were happy to help out, and even Larsen's three energetic young children were there to lend a hand at FoodWorks.
"This is an opportunity to focus on other people and it also helps me with my kids," Larsen said. "I get to spend time with them and teach them how to work and how to give back."
"And it helps the players keep things in perspective," he added. "Living in the world we live in, it's easy to lose sight of things that are most important. And charity and giving back are definitely at the top of the list."
