Before the café, Recycle God's Love launched a 2022 initiative titled, "Project Revive," which is a faith-based program designed to support homeless individuals seeking to rebuild their lives.

The program helps the homeless access housing, transportation, identification, addiction counseling, and jobs that are grounded in Christian discipleship.

The Drip Café is the latest initiative in the ministry's project and, according to the ministry's website, serves as "the first major step to providing real jobs [for the community]."

Part of the Café's mission is to hire and mentor individuals who have completed the ministry's program and are now sober and ready to reintegrate into the workforce.

However, this wasn't enough for a local group known as the Denver Communists, who organized a protest on the coffee shop's opening day. The protestors claim that the Christian coffee shop hates those in the LGBTQ community, based on the Recycle God's Love stance on homosexuality posted in its website's belief section.

Recycle God's Love embraces the Christian belief that marriage is between man and woman and is ordained of God. But, Denver Communists claims there is "No trans(gender) liberation without Communism!" and "Non Communism without Trans Liberation!"

Initially, the Denver Communists protested outside the café every weekend initially. Today, the protests continue with 10-20 people protesting outside the café on the first Friday of every month during the local area's Art Walk event.

Sanchez, in an interview with Fox News on Monday, revealed that his property has been vandalized, its windows have been broken, and "Keep Santa Fe Gay" stickers have been left around the building. Recently, an image of a KKK member being hanged was spray-painted on the café's front door.

Despite ongoing protests and recent acts of vandalism Sanchez maintains that he feels no hatred for the protestors. He simply sees the backlash as part of a spiritual battle.

Sanchez also says that local authorities have provided no help, so he and his team have found an inventive solution in the form of holding live worship music every first Friday to help "drown out" the commotion outside.

Sanchez told Fox News that "I love them, even though they don't believe me and I've never shown anything but love to them and that's why the only pictures they have of me is praying for them. (Screengrab image: via Fox News Digital)

Despite Sanchez's love for the protestors, their disdain for him could is evidenced by a June 8, 2025 blog post by Rose Tifosi, founder of the Firebrand organization and member of the Denver Communists:

"We may not succeed in running the Drip out of town before the end of its lease, but that is ultimately irrelevant. The protests against the hate-café are serving as a training ground for new queer-rights activists, -and our ultimate victory, while delayed, is inevitable."

The Denver Communists have also claimed Sanchez was affiliated with neo-Nazis and said they'd been subjected to slurs and threats by coffee shop staff, which Sanchez adamantly denies. He's denies that any hate has been shown to the protesters by others outside his café.

In a closing statement, Sanchez told Fox News that the protestors are the ones being hateful and intolerant:

"The communists have told me I'm not welcome, told me to kill myself, and my response is, 'I love you, and you are welcome to come in peacefully.' We have offered them free coffee and food on cold days, it's very silly of them to say I am part of a Nazi group, considering I am a brown-skinned Hispanic."
