Volunteering for one of our greatest volunteers
We’re happy to say that the plot of land we stood on months ago in Golden, Colo. has now been transformed into a new home for disabled Iraq veteran SSG Travis Strong and his family. DNCC staff joined local credit unions, the Colorado Building Trades Council and the National Journal Group in the Homes for our Troops Build Brigade this weekend -- a truly remarkable project. With the help of hundreds of volunteers, what started on Friday as a concrete building base became a fully-built weather-proof house by Sunday. Also visiting the site and Strong family over the weekend were DNCC CEO Leah D. Daughtry, Lieutenant Governor Barbara O’Brien, Congressman and Senatorial candidate Mark Udall and Congressman Ed Perlmutter. Take a look at this video to see how such an amazing project came together and why it matters so much.

To have something so positive and heartwarming grow from the hardwork and effort of people helping each other is incredible.
