On Saturday, Sept. 19, Lakewood held its fourth annual Love Lakewood Day, a three-hour citywide service morning organized by the city’s Neighborhood Support Team with Serve Spot Lakewood as lead organizer. According to the Jeffco Transcript’s recap published Sept. 24, more than 850 volunteers worked 37 projects across the city, more than double last year’s turnout. The first Love Lakewood Day in 2023 drew roughly 200 people.
The projects are the practical kind: school beautification (painting, gardens, blacktop stenciling), park and neighborhood cleanups, and meal packing for the nonprofit Jeffco Eats. The city’s own press release ahead of the event put the 2025 edition at nearly 400 volunteers on 21 projects, with volunteer hours valued at $46,400, which gives a sense of how fast the day has grown. Partners include Jeffco Public Schools, faith congregations, neighborhood organizations and nonprofits.
Trevor Wolfson, the city’s Neighborhood Support Team coordinator, is the point person for the program and was quoted in both the city’s release and the Transcript’s coverage.
How to get involved
The city takes project ideas and volunteer sign-ups for the 2027 event at lakewoodco.gov (search Love Lakewood Day) or by emailing neighborhoods@lakewood.org. If you are a Lakewood church, HOA or business, this is one of the easier ways to plug a group into a single morning of measurable good.
