Thank You, Atonement Lutheran Church

Today we’d like to thank Boulder’s Atonement Lutheran Church for their volunteer efforts on behalf of Imagine!.

Each year, members of the church do a Sunday project outside of the church to serve the community. In late September, Imagine! hosted 40 volunteers at 2 projects sites. One group helped to xeriscape and renovate the side yards at one of Imagine!’s Group Homes, and the other group hosted a car wash to clean our Boulder CORE/Labor Source vehicle fleet.

We received fantastic feedback about the work done by both groups! The good folks at Atonement Church have done multiple volunteer projects for Imagine! over the past several years, and were are honored and humbled by their continued support.

 

Thank You Thursday
