Weidner Cares Colorado – Uplifting a Community with Family Life Services

Weidner Cares 2025 is officially underway, and our Colorado team has set the bar high!

On Friday, June 20, 2025, associates from across our Colorado region partnered with Family Life Services in Colorado Springs, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering single mothers and their children through housing and holistic support. Together, they focused on a wide variety of projects aimed at enhancing both safety and quality of life on campus.

Our associates kicked off the day outdoors, sprucing up the perimeter with repairs, refreshes, and new builds. Some dedicated volunteers revitalized the turf and added pea gravel to the playground to help prevent pesky scraped knees. At the same time, others installed new motion detector lights and repaired fences to improve security, providing mothers with peace of mind. Even the charming gazebo, once weathered, was lovingly sanded and stained to reveal a fresh, vibrant look.

Another group of volunteers transformed the community’s interior shared spaces. They began with a splash of new paint, rejuvenating offices, stairwells, and common areas with a brighter, lighter look. Once the painting was done, they added some modern shelving to several rooms and installed a water spigot, making the environment not only more functional but also more welcoming. In one corner of the building, an entire unit was prepared with care and anticipation for a family expected to move in soon.

Wrapping up the end of a productive day, the volunteers capped off their efforts by adding fresh stripes to the parking lot. This simple refresh enhanced the community’s road safety and ensured that everyone could navigate the community more easily.

This day of service didn’t just transform the Family Life Services property – it strengthened our teams’ sense of connection and purpose. At Weidner, we believe that building community starts with showing up, working together, and leaving a place better than we found it.

That day, Colorado truly embodied the Weider Cares spirit, making a meaningful difference for a wonderful community in need.

Thank you, Colorado! You nailed it!
