🎄✨ Merry Christmas from all of us at Globeville First ✨🎄
This season, our hearts are full of gratitude. We want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a holiday filled with love, warmth, and joy.
We are incredibly thankful for the amazing volunteers who showed up with open hearts and helping hands to make our 2nd Annual Toys for Kids event such a beautiful success. Because of your time, generosity, and dedication, we were able to bless over 300 children in our community—creating smiles, laughter, and memories that will last far beyond the holiday season.
This is what community looks like. Neighbors helping neighbors. Love in action. 💚
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, supported, and believed in this mission. We couldn’t do this work without you.
From our Globeville First family to yours,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 🎁🎄

🎄✨ What an Incredible Day of Christmas Crafting! ✨🎄
Our hearts are so full after such a beautiful day spent crafting, laughing, and creating together. Thank you to everyone who came down and shared your time, creativity, and crafting talents with us. You helped turn simple materials into meaningful keepsakes and moments that will be cherished for years to come.
It was especially special to reconnect with old friends from the neighborhood and to feel like kids again back in the craft room with our elders who once taught us how to create with our hands and hearts. Those moments of guidance, storytelling, and shared laughter reminded us just how powerful community truly is.
Thank you for making space for memories, for honoring tradition, and for keeping the spirit of Globeville alive through love, creativity, and connection. 💚🎨
Until next time,
Globeville First

From the Heart of Globeville First ✨
Today was nothing short of a blessing. 🙏
We had the honor of serving over 75 families, placing turkeys into hands and hope into homes. Knowing that these meals will help make someone’s holiday feel a little warmer, a little fuller, and a little more joyful truly fills our hearts.
To our gracious donors Lori Mora Laurita National Western Center Siyeh Shinn Gibbs , Eddie Pacheco and Mr. Modig -thank you for giving so generously, often without recognition, simply because you care. Your kindness reaches far beyond a meal.
And to our incredible volunteers, you showed up with love, patience, and open arms. None of this would be possible without the heart you pour into this community.
Globeville is family, and today reminded us just how beautiful that family truly is. 💚

Globeville First formally emerged when neighborhood residents opposed the tiny home village in the Globeville community. We represented many longtime Globeville stakeholders urging the city to prioritize existing residents and their wellbeing before adding new burdens to an already over-impacted area.
As a registered neighborhood organization (RNO), “Globeville First” is a direct expression of community-first priorities. The tiny home village was relocated out of the Globeville neighborhood. After dissolving in 2024, we were quickly reinstated with all new board members in October 2024.
Today, Globeville First focuses on resident-led advocacy, housing safety, energy-efficient home repairs, youth services, and resisting displacement amid rapid neighborhood change.
