Greetings! | |
I received the following email from a community resident ECM volunteers worked with this past week and wanted to share her comments with you:
"I just wanted to thank your organization for all of the help I received this past weekend. I also wondered if you have an address for the volunteers and a name I could address a thank you note to, because the group was so great! The amazing amount of work is something that would have taken me many, many weekends to accomplish. My porch looks wonderful and now my flower garden is ready for me to plant. Thanks again." Rita |

| ECM is a 501(c)(3)! | |
Extreme Community Makeover is officially a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non profit organization recognized by the IRS as of April 18, 2011! We are really excited about this step of becoming an independent organization and eagerly anticipate what the future holds. We look forward to having you come alongside ECM even more as we move ahead in the journey of building relationships and communities "one block at a time" as our mission statement indicates...
Extreme Community Makeover coordinates volunteer teams to partner with underserved people to improve their own homes and neighborhoods. These projects build safer environments; cultivate community among residents, neighborhoods, and networks of local resource providers; and connect residents to a permanent path towards healthy, hopeful, and stable lives.
We need your support now more than ever, so please consider getting involved with ECM through partnering with ECM financially, becoming a member of an Extreme Team, encouraging your church or company to get involved in an ECM work day, or a number of other ways. Contact Angela if you have questions or ideas about how you and ECM can work together! |

| Thank You to April Volunteers | |
Thank you to all the groups who volunteered with ECM during the month of April: 
University of Denver Law Students, Valor Christian High School Basketball Team, Front Range Christian School, George Washington High School, Valor Christian High School Staff, 1 By Youth, and University of Denver!
These groups included nearly 550 people who adopted 6 blocks, painted 3 houses, cleaned 3 yards, repaired 2 fences, and trimmed 1 tree in Globeville. These groups also focused on cleaning alleys and removing graffiti on over 100 blocks in Globeville and Westwood. Thanks for coming together to make such an incredible impact this month! |
