ACTS 2010 Calendar of Projects
Wednesday Project Angel Heart – Decorate bags for Project Angel Heart clients
2010
The Denver Post recognizes that
as a company in Colorado it has
a major responsibility to help
meet the needs and satisfy the
concerns of the communities
of which it is a part. We believe
that when we invest volunteer
resources in our neighborhoods,
positive partnerships result,
which improve quality of life and
make our community a better
place to live, work and play.
Last year you and your colleagues
(along with your family and
friends) contributed over 940
hours of service to the community.
That’s a value of more than
$19,000! Here’s a look at this
year’s ACTS projects. We hope
you’ll join us in making an impact
on our community this year.
Mark your calendar, bring your
family and friends and join the
fun of Assisting the Community
Through Service. In addition to
the fulfillment of helping others,
you’ll get an ACTS t-shirt and
food (usually a continental
breakfast and/or lunch) at each
project.
Sign up for any of
these projects today by
contacting the project
leader!
