We had an incredible turnout at our RFMA Gives 2020 Volunteer Day in Denver on Saturday, September 21st. Over 150 volunteers worked together to complete several projects for the Stout Street Foundation, a nonprofit serving and supporting the Denver community through rehabilitation, recovery, and transition. Some of the projects completed include revitalizing SSF’s Gathering Room with paint and new ceiling tiles, transforming SSF’s exterior with heavy landscaping, repainting several interior spaces, rebuilding picnic tables, and much more! We are so thankful to all our volunteers who came out and made Volunteer Day such a success! |
