Number eight in the DNCC “Service Days” series brought Convention staff to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver’s administrative offices earlier today.  In a warehouse with towers of boxes filled with donations from the Boys and Girls Clubs’ corporate partners, DNCC staff sorted and shelved the items in preparation for their distribution to children across the city.  From backpacks to clothing to sporting equipment, volunteers organized the gifts in order to help make the process of moving everything from the warehouse to children’s hands as quick as possible.  Additionally, volunteers broke down the boxes used to store the donations and packed a large truck full of cardboard to be recycled.

Boys and Girls Clubs are located throughout Denver, and for $2 per year, provide a fun and safe environment for kids when they need it most – after school and during the summer.  Thanks to Kim and Burt at the Metro Denver administrative offices for all of their help with this great event.

DNCC Service Days are monthly projects that focus in one of three areas: youth, greening and the combined issues of homelessness and hunger.  To see our previous posts on service events, click here.
