Get Your Hands Dirty in Denver!
As you may know, each year, Extreme Community Makeover picks a theme. We pick the themes based on the overall vision of ECM. Past year’s themes were Be Kind. Do Good; Be a Good Neighbor; and Growing Deep Roots. This year’s theme is Get Your Hands Dirty. Along with each theme, we have t-shirts available to spread that message during the volunteer season.
