North Denver has had our shares of ups and downs, but we know that community comes together when it matters most. We’re highlighting community members who are making a difference in our new segment. If you know a person, organization, or local business who deserves recognition, email news@DenverNorthStar.com to let us know.
The Denver Elks Lodge was shrinking only a few years ago, but has rebounded and grown in membership. Members decided to utilize their growing community in order to give back, donating $1,000 each to both Bienvenidos and to Food for Thought Denver. They are also planning on giving away several $1,000 scholarships for graduating seniors headed towards college or trade schools.
