Thank for making it possible to support so many different non-profits that I wouldn’t be able to support on my own. I love coming to volunteer events and helping put donation packages together. I love donating because my money goes to lots of different places to help lots of different people. Project Our Town is the best of the best!

Project our Town makes it so easy to contribute to whatever cause interests me. It’s super simple to sign up and show up to projects. They are incredibly welcoming and accommodating. When I volunteer with Project Our Town, I feel like my contributions are going further and doing more than they would be with any other organization. I feel like I am giving back to my community and having fun and hanging out with friends all at the same time. I have volunteered with a lot of different organizations over the years. This one is the very best for the work they do and the way they do it!

I can't say enough good things about the team behind Project Our Town. Their dedication and passion for helping others is addicting. They radiate positivity and make volunteering fun while expecting nothing in return. It takes a special type of person to give so much time and effort into giving back into the community and I'm lucky to have worked with them throughout several unique projects. They don't discriminate about the type of help either and aim toward impacting whoever they can. Looking forward to working with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone who has some spare time to giving back to the community.

I have been volunteering the Project Our Town for many years, and have found all of the projects I've worked to be thoroughly enjoyable and very fulfilling. The organizers have been wonderful to work with - they are truly dedicated to their work for the community. And they work hard to make the experience positive for the volunteers. They have a wide variety of projects they support and I can always find one that interests me to work on. And the best part - every project supports the local community so you know your efforts have direct local benefit to groups that are truly in need. This organization gets my highest recommendation!

PROJECT OUR TOWN is a small nonprofit with a big heart for helping others. One of my favorite things about PROJECT OUR TOWN is that most of the volunteer opportunities available are suitable for families to do together. It is my opinion that children learn from example. Not only seeing your parents help others, but to participate in the joy of giving with them, establishes a foundation for being a contributing member of your community. I am so proud to talk about all of the ways that PROJECT OUR TOWN helps people in the Denver metro area. And I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such generous and committed individuals as well.

I have been helping at PROJECT OUR TOWN for eight years. We assist many smaller nonprofits that in turn help those with food insecurity, homelessness, struggling families, veterans, animal shelters, and any deserving cause. It’s an amazing group of volunteers!

Project Our Town has engaged me for the last six years. I cannot say enough about the wonderful nonprofit organizations we serve, including some smaller ones that do not have the support of large organizations that assist nonprofits. As a side benefit, I meet lovely, caring people through volunteering. I truly believe that we can make the world a better place with acts of kindness and giving of ourselves. Being a part of Project Our Town is amazing!

Project Our Town is an impactful Denver area non-profit dedicated to fostering community connections and supporting those in need. Their wide range of volunteer-driven initiatives, from providing meals to the homeless to organizing community clean-ups, demonstrates a commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of Denver residents.

The organization’s ability to mobilize local volunteers and partner with other community groups amplifies its reach and effectiveness.

Project Our Town’s hands-on approach, combined with its focus on inclusivity and empowerment, makes it a vital resource for both volunteers and beneficiaries, fostering a stronger, more compassionate community.

Talk about a great group of people. Love that they don't focus on just one single area of need. Impactful to know that one month you might be focusing on food insecurity and the next you might be focused on supporting animals in shelters.

I have worked with PROJECT OUR TOWN since it first started and have been inspired ever since to volunteer and make a meaningful impact on our community.
I love that there are so many different projects that help many causes. But the Bean Soup project is my favorite. It is the best feeling when a few people can come together and start bagging beans and spices, and in just a couple of hours, there are 200 bean soup kits that will feed 200 families. I love it!

Project Our Town is an incredible community that I am so grateful to be a part of! The work that goes into the projects is incredible and created with passion. The people and the projects are what make Project Our Town my favorite organisation. A nonprofit that does fun and creative activities for other non profits, is totally awesome. Walking into volunteering makes me feel like I'm actually doing something that makes an impact in my community. I am grateful for the friends, people, projects, and organisations that I have met through Project Our town. I always feel good when I do something good with Project Our Town.

I am Olivia Carter, a sophomore and a year ago when I was introduced to Project Our Town I immediately realized I wanted to be part of their community. I think it is one of the best organizations in Denver as no matter your age or gender you're welcomed. My younger brother looks forward to every project because they make a donation/project fun. It is very rare to see someone walk out of Project Our Town without a smile. They have made me confident and fall in love with Project Our town! Do Good Feel Good!

I've had the absolute pleasure of volunteering for Project Our Town for two years now. I can't speak highly enough of the heart and passion that goes into each project they do. Every-time I volunteer the organizers emphasize the importance of each cause and why they do what they do. They're so genuine and inspiring you can't help but want to be a better person each time you work with them. I love Project Our Town and look forward to every chance I get to work with them.

P.O.T. Supports many needed causes that inspire me to donate whenever I can. Recently I took time to be an active participant in one of their projects, teaching others to knit for charitable donations. It was a joy to spend a few hours working with such a kind and welcoming group of people. I’m looking forward to many more projects with these generous souls.

I have been both a proud sponsor and volunteer at Project Our Town since its inception. Every year they strive to increase their impact in the community. From diapers, to dog toys, to school back packs, to helping the homeless, Project Our Town knows no boundaries in which organizations it assists. If there is a need, they strive to fill it. I have seen first hand the impact in the community from a few of those organizations that Project Our Town recruits supplies and volunteers. I will continue to sponsor and volunteer for this amazing organization.

What is not to love about POT! I have volunteered with them in my personal time and have organized company-wide events with them as well. Every experience is well-organized, fun, and helpful to others.

Amazing, passionate, and caring individuals at POT.

I have been involved with Project Our Town since it’s inception and it has provided a wide range of support to many organizations in Colorado and in nearby states. It has also provided support to senior citizens through home projects and military personnel by sending pocket flags and care packages. I’m so proud of the impact that they’ve had by providing school supplies to Colorado Resident Schools. The annual weekend of action is far reaching in its impact to both organizations in need and the volunteers that step up to help. Although Covid had a negative impact on many nonprofit organizations, Project Our Town made adjustments to their offerings to allow for continued involvement and support.

Well organized events, welcoming, helpful staff and volunteers. Great charity for children to learn the need for and importance of helping others. Numerous different events for individuals, families and people who are occasionally left out of mainstream living. So glad to contribute time and money to an organization that supports schools, seniors, veterans and a host of others who serve our community. The co-founders are dedicated and committed to service and it shows. Am honored to volunteer with Project Our Town.

Thanks to my volunteer work with Project Our Town, I have not only been able to contribute to non-profits and causes I already cared about, but I also found new organizations where I now donate and volunteer. I love how much impact they help me make on my community. Plus, they have provided wonderful volunteer opportunities for my kids!

I've known the founders of this organization since its inception, and they are some of the most caring people I've ever met. They have done such an exceptional job with Project Our Town. What started as a weekend volunteer extravaganza has developed and grown over the years to provide volunteer opportunities throughout the year. My favorite thing about Project Our Town is that there are plenty of activities I can do with my child, and those volunteer opportunities are difficult to come by! We have had so much fun over the years, from decorating onesies for newborns in need, to making pet toys for our local shelters, to creating thoughtful cards to send to our military overseas. This organization is amazing because it doesn't do just one thing; it strives to find something for everyone!

I love working with Project Our Town because of the numerous opportunities they provide to give back to my community. I’ve partnered with them on school drives, helping provide care packages for the homeless community and packaging bean soup. Every Project Our Town leader and volunteer I’ve had the honor to work alongside has been so full of joy, that giving back via this organization has been a gift!

I have been involved with Project Our Town since it was incorporated and it is a wonderful organization--pairing volunteers with needy organizations. I am proudest of its effect on children. I have seen the looks of wonder and delight when I drop off a load of backpacks full of school supplies at schools where most students have little to nothing (I spoke with some who sleep in a car every night). I have also seen children volunteer to sort food, make cards, or some other needed effort and these children leave feeling like they've just done something fun and wonderful (which they have). Best is that I see these same children continue to volunteer year after year and always bring friends and companions with them. The logistics of setting up these volunteer events and matching volunteers directly with food baks, etc is daunting and yet the organization makes it seamless. Denver and the surrounding geography is a much better place because of Project Our Town.

My family started volunteering with PROJECT OUR TOWN a year ago, as it was one of the few nonprofits that had ample opportunity for children to participate just as much as adults. Since then, my family has been able to volunteer on a variety of projects helping out various other nonprofits - another wonderful aspect of their mission. Their board members and volunteers are so dedicated to improving the community and really making a difference in the lives of so many worthy folks. Their passion is infectious and I've been thrilled about the opportunity to take on a greater volunteer role. Top-notch organization!
