A few days ago I received an email from a group who volunteered with ECM for the first time last fall, Essex Financial Group. This message was one of the best I've received all year because it truly gets to the heart of the mission of ECM - building relationships and the impact that makes in the lives of both the residents and volunteers who meet through the shared experience of working on a project together. After working with "T" to paint her house, a few members of this group stayed in touch with "T", learned about some of the other needs she faced, and worked collaboratively to find a way to help her tackle those challenges - all because they took time to get to know her and build a relationship with her. To read the full story about what this group from Essex Financial Group did, click here to find it on our blog. And if you have your own story to tell about a connection you made through Extreme Community Makeover, I would love to hear it so we can continue sharing these stories with one another!

ECM Work Days

While we have a few groups still participating in a leaf raking project and a graffiti removal project in the next couple of weeks, we have wrapped up our regularly scheduled Work Days for the season. Thanks to each of you, we have had another record setting year for volunteer participation, with over 3,500 volunteers this year! You are truly making a difference in Denver neighborhoods and we look forward to continuing to make an impact together "one block at a time".
