Extreme Efforts: July Extreme Endeavors: What Have You Been Doing This Summer?

The month of June is always one of the busiest months of the year for Extreme Community Makeover. Here's a snapshot of what this past month looked like for ECM:

- 14 Work Days scheduled
- 41 alleys cleaned
- 102 projects completed
- 1,080 volunteers participated
- Lots of neighbors helping neighbors

Check out what a few of the residents we assisted and volunteers who participated had to share about their experience during a recent Work Day in the Westwood neighborhood.

Denver Days

Denver Days is an initiative Mayor Michael B. Hancock created in 2013 to help neighbors get to know neighbors and get involved with their communities. The simple and amiable concept and message behind Denver Days quickly caught on with Denver residents and this August 1st -9th marks Denver Days third year.

Knowing your neighbors

creates a stronger community. Organizing events such as block parties, social events and service projects and interacting with those who live closest to you helps to build a sense of belonging and camaraderie that will foster a happier, healthier and safer place to live. Participating in Denver Days is a great opportunity to connect and have fun!
