Greetings!

Check out our latest video that tells more about ECM and what we're up to lately.  As spring is approaching and we move into the start of regularly scheduled Work Days next month, consider getting your church, company, school, or another group you're connected with involved in ECM!

ECM Neighborhoods

If you're not sure of the eight target neighborhoods where ECM works, check out the map below.  Each area has a detailed description so you can learn more about each of these unique Denver neighborhoods and then get involved in ECM to make a difference in that community!

The Big Day of Serving

On Saturday, April 20, you have a chance to participate with around 500 other people to make a huge impact in the Westwood neighborhood through The Big Day of Serving!  This event is a national event (Denver is one of 15 cities across the country) targeted toward getting youth involved in their community and ECM is the lead organization sponsoring this event in Denver.  If you are connected to a group of youth, it would be great to have you join with us.  We also have a few more spots available for adults to serve as project leaders.  Many Westwood residents are already hard at work identifying projects they would like the volunteers to help with that day, which will include alley clean-ups and beautification, garden planting, graffiti removal, and house painting. 

 

The Colorado Rockies are donating tickets to the game that night against the Arizona Diamondbacks as well!  There are a limited number of tickets available but the sooner you register, the more likely you will be to receive a ticket to attend the game that night.  For more details and to register, click here.

 

Schedule: The Big Day of Serving

7:00 am - Participants check in

8:00 am - Kickoff Rally

8:30 am - Depart for projects

12:00 pm - Lunch at project sites

3:00 pm - Block Party Celebration

 

ECM Work Day Partners

One of our goals for each of the 15 Saturday Work Days hosted by ECM this year is to identify a Work Day Partner ($500) and a Food Partner ($250).  The Work Day Partnership would pay for dumpster rental and other costs associated with each Work Day.  The Food Partnership would provide lunch for all the volunteers and community folks participating each Work Day.  For more details and to look at how your church or company could partner with ECM in this way, click here.

Supplies Drive

PaintECM is collecting supplies to use on projects this year.  Individuals can help with this or if you want to get a group together from your church, company, school, etc., you could encourage people to donate items such as garbage bags, latex gloves, paint brushes and other paint supplies, twine, or a variety of other things.  A full list of items needed can be found here.
