Extreme Makeover: Habitat Edition

On Saturday, July 30th, 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.
