Greetings!
"Because of all the help I received that day I was able to continue on the back deck painting.  I would never have gotten around to it, or have had all the energy to do it.  I was motivated by all your volunteers and have helped the neighbors on a project since then."
 
This note I recently received reflects how residents appreciate volunteer help on projects at their homes and how it motivates them to continue with subsequent projects, along with helping their neighbors.  We appreciate all our volunteers who make our efforts possible and hope you can join with us later this month at an event to say thank you.  More details follow.

ECM Fun Day
 Denver Days: Aug 3-11
The first annual "Denver Days" is taking place this week, August 3-11.  Denver residents are organizing community service projects and hosting neighborhood gatherings. From community clean ups to backyard potlucks and block parties, Denver Days will provide a unique opportunity to connect neighbors and neighborhoods.  Click here to find out what's happening in your area.
Church Partner: Hillside Church
For the fifth year in a row, Hillside Church has been partnering with ECM for their Service Sundays, when they call off their regular Sunday church service and families serve their neighbors together.  Working with ECM is a great intergenerational experience and we appreciate churches, such as Hillside Church, who make that a priority.  Thanks for your support of ECM both financially and with volunteers!
