Why do you volunteer?  I recently came across an article on "The Benefits of Volunteering" that stated, "One of the better-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Unpaid volunteers are often the glue that holds a community together. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place."   

 

I would imagine this is one of the reasons you have chosen to volunteer with Extreme Community Makeover.  If you want to join an upcoming Work Day, the dates are listed below.  If you haven't had a chance to volunteer with ECM recently but want to learn more, check out the events mentioned below as well.  To hear stories from some of our current volunteers, click here. Together, we make our Denver community a great place to live!

Go: Westwood Synopsis

Thank you to the 420 volunteers who made for a super successful Go: Westwood project!  Over half the volunteers were Westwood residents and the projects completed included:

 

Alameda Avenue Clean-Up Alley Improvement Project Bus Stops Clean-Up
Garden Planting Graffiti Removal Morrison Road Clean-Up

 

Go: Westwood

 

Thanks to Councilman Paul Lopez's Office, Crossroads of the Rockies, Westwood Residents Association, and Westwood Unidos for helping plan the event.  Thanks to the thirteen groups and individuals who volunteered.  And thanks to the Colorado Rockies for donating tickets to the baseball game that night for all the volunteers.  We had a great day!  To read a summary of Go: Westwood, click here.
