Give back
Neighbors give their time across Cherry Creek North and greater Denver. Here are the causes CCNNA supports year round — pick one that fits your schedule.
Bromwell Elementary School is seeking CCNNA volunteers to become important resources to their teachers and students. They offer several opportunities to help — from library, music and art helpers, beautification and gardening, technology, and lost and found helpers, to book fairs and Read-a-Thons. The staff has a strong belief that volunteers are an invaluable resource.
Food for Thought Denver helps students and their families who may not have enough food to eat, especially on weekends. The group raises funds to provide weekend food bags (PowerSacks) to 79 public schools in Denver. They are looking for volunteers — individual or corporate — every Friday to fill PowerSacks with non-perishable food items to feed a family of four for the weekend.
A very popular volunteer event for CCNNA is the annual Christmas project with the Denver Salvation Army, preparing holiday boxes of clothes, food, and toys for those in need. Cherry Creek North joins with Lowry, and each neighborhood is limited to 25 volunteers. To register or for more information, contact Wayne New.
Snow Angels assist Denver residents who need help shoveling snow from their sidewalks and driveways during the winter months. Volunteers help older adults, neighbors living with a disability and those temporarily unable to shovel keep walkways clear and avoid fines.
