Summer Home Dedications

To build a Habitat home, volunteers, staff, partner families and sponsors come together to make a difference for a low-income family who dreams of owning a home. Using hammers, nails, paint brushes and power tools, selfless individuals build doorways to brighter futures. Habitat partner families come together to help build their homes and the homes of others and create a sense of community that may have been absent before. This summer, join Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver as we celebrate each beautiful home and the amazing accomplishments of many hard working individuals.

Habitat will host 7 total home dedications in Denver and Aurora this summer. Partner families will have the opportunity to speak about their work with Habitat, cut the ribbon on their new front doors and receive the keys to their homes. After the ceremony, stay for a tour of the homes and celebrate with Habitat staff, friends and family.

Extreme Makeover: Habitat Edition

On Saturday, July 30^th, thirteen families in the Globeville neighborhood partnered with 100 Habitat volunteers to make a difference in their community. Working in conjunction with Extreme Community Makeover (ECM), Habitat volunteers and Globeville homeowners addressed repair needs by working on painting, yard cleaning, yard maintenance, fence repair and concrete. Stepping forward with positive, can-do attitudes, Habitat volunteers made a tangible difference in the lives of these Globeville families.

“This partnership between Extreme Community Makeover and Habitat for Humanity is a great example of the impact we can collaboratively make by engaging community members – volunteers and homeowners – to improve the neighborhoods in which we live,” said Extreme Community Makeover Executive Director Angela Bomgaars.

Extreme Community Makeover coordinates volunteer teams to partner with underserved people to improve their own homes and neighborhoods. Partnering with ECM on this project has allowed Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver to engage our volunteers in a new way, serving additional families and expanding our scope of project work.
