I would encourage you to consider how you can volunteer this year. And if you want to volunteer with ECM or learn more about the work we do, read on for a number of ways to do just that!   Angela Bomgaars, Executive Director  Volunteer Snapshots Let's Do This 2015 ECM Work Day Dates Check out the dates and locations for our ECM Work Days by clicking here.  Read more about getting a group involved with this doc.  Once you've talked with Angela about more details, you can sign up for a Work Day by clicking here.

The vision of DCC has always been to journey together following Jesus, and to demonstrate God's love to all people.  DCC is doing just that through their involvement in ECM.  As one of the churches who has been involved in ECM from nearly the beginning, we are so grateful for the hundreds of volunteers that have participated in our projects, as well as monthly financial support that make our work possible. Thank you Denver Community Church!

Thank you for partnering with ECM to make a difference in Denver neighborhoods!       Sincerely,   Extreme Community Makeover
