Residents Given Opportunity to Contribute to Great Cause

Join fellow do-gooders – New Perspective Real Estate and The Stapletonion, in collecting food for the Food Bank of the Rockies and local school pantries. Hunger is a serious issue and not just for the pot smokers struggling with the munchies. Here are some creative ideas to donate to this worthy cause: Clear out all the protein shakes, quinoa, and chia seeds that were necessary for your last health kick, OR Clear out the Rotel & Velveeta you bought for Football Sundays, OR Head to Target or King Soopers and pat yourself on the back for cleverly DOUBLE donating: non-perishable goods for the food drive AND 5% of your purchase to the school of your choice! Then, take food items to your nearest drop-off location. Be sure to get credit for your generosity! Drop a few cans to garner attention, then proudly hoist your contribution into the donation barrel… the more bags, the better! Donation barrels can be found at the following awesome businesses:

• Amore Fiori
• Boulder Creek Neighborhoods
• Clair Family Dentistry
• Dance Institute
• David Weekley Homes
• Forest City, Stapleton Apartments
• Four Friends Kitchen
• KB Home
• Lennar Homes
• Mici Handcrafted Italian
• Northfield Veterinary Hospital
• NPRE
• Orange Theory
• Parkwood Homes
• Stapleton Orthodontics
• Thrive Home Builders
• Wonderland Homes

Volunteers Needed NPRE is looking for volunteers to help with the drop off and pick up of the bags. This is a great way to get your family involved in a wonderful cause, and kids love running to the doors to drop off and pick up the bags. The more volunteers the better! Volunteers for the drop off will receive breakfast from Etais on Saturday, October 1st. Volunteers for the pickup will receive lunch from Micis on Saturday, October 8th.
