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 was an invaluable partner to me as a school building leader and to our staff. They came to our school with open hands and open hearts and selflessly met the emotional and tangible needs of our team. They understand the transformative power of relationships in serving those who serve our children.
