I’m thankful for Lakewood Connects because I believe in a Lakewood that’s a great place for all kids to grow up from Colfax to Green Mountain. There are significant needs and challenges facing our Lakewood kids, for example almost 1/4 are on free and reduced lunch and kids makeup the largest community served by the Action Center. Lakewood Connects helps bridge the gap, so that all kids can get a fair shot in Lakewood.

Lakewood Connects is a key component in our mission to love and serve the people of the Green Mountain community and the City of Lakewood. Reg Cox is the conduit to collaborative relationships between the faith community, city leadership, non-profits, county agencies and Jeffco Schools. Lakewood Connects opened the door for Faith Mountain to tutor students, invest in school improvement projects, feed the hungry, bless hundreds of low income families at Christmas and make a real difference in the real lives of our real neighbors. We are a stronger and more vibrant community because of the hard work done by Lakewood Connects. We’re better together. Lakewood Connects keeps us together.
