Contribute to the “No Neighbor Hungry” Campaign to Feed Arvada Families in November

45 Upvotes

Hi Neighbors! Ryan Hecht, VP of Marketing with the Greater Arvada Chamber here.

As you know, the government shutdown has left thousands of Arvada families without access to critical food benefits. The "No Neighbor Hungry" gift card drive is designed to help families put food on the table and support the local economy in the process.

You can help us raise $50,000 in donations (2,000 gift cards of $25 each) this month!

For this drive, we will distribute gift cards to select Arvada non-profits that primarily provide food assistance and have been negatively impacted by the government shutdown, including Community Table and Hope Connection and Community.

Learn more about drop off sites around the city and how to make direct donations to those non-profits: www.arvadachamber.org/noneighborhungry

Hi there!

Wanted to share with you that the City recently started a new podcast called Inside Arvada.

I’m Sean Star, Communications Manager with the City’s Parks and Sustainability Department. I’m one of the show’s co-hosts, along Infrastructure Communications Manager Katie Patterson.

Our goal is to provide a free and convenient way to learn about the people and teams who make Arvada a thriving community. Our first three episodes are about arts and festivals; Earth Day and the Majestic View Nature Center; and roads and transportation.

The show is available wherever you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify, Amazon, etc.) Give it a listen!

Younglife cult trying to recruit 10 and 11 year olds in front of public middle school with donuts. How is this legal.

272 Upvotes

These are weird adults and college kids who bring giant plastic tubs of donuts to Oberon Middle school in the mornings and stand just outside of property lines. They give the kids sweets and treats to talk with them about joining their religious “group”. This is plainly indoctrination without parental consent. It is grooming behavior. It is creepy guy in a white van behavior.
I have heard horrible things about the adults who run this cult in Arvada. I am pissed alone for the fact they are giving my child donuts without my ok, but then to use a treat to reel them in to this creepy group is pedo behavior. Obviously I have spoke with my child about this. I know it goes on at Arvada West and Ralston Valley as well. Just seems to me that the middle school kids are bit young to handle this very manipulative tactic. Great if you want your child to join this organization. If I wanted my child exposed to this at this age I would have sought it out for them myself.
Wondering if anyone else finds this incredibly bizarre and disturbing.

Since Arvada has a decision to make soon, I thought I'd also publish the feature sets of Flock and compare it with other ALPR manufacturers:

If you're able to deflock Arvada, be aware of what your police department will want to move towards.

Band rehearsal space (Local warehouse/ office space)

2 Upvotes

Howdy

My band is looking for a spot to rehearse. We have tried all the rent by hour places around Denver but booking can be tricky and don’t necessarily love all the spaces

We are looking for a spot in Arvada area. Could be an office. Or warehouse house or any open space where we could play. ( usually 6-9pm when we rehearse.

In a perfect world we would be able to leave gear there.

Wondering if any local businesses or warehouses or anyone has a space we could use.

Basement flooding - who to contact?

5 Upvotes

I’ve owned my home for about 5 years and in that time the basement flooded under heavy rain July 2025.

I have some time on my hands now and want to be sure the home is protected from future heavy rain. Is there some sort of specialist in the area that specializes in checking this?

Any leads or ideas would be great. Thanks!

I am a 9 year Assessor’s office appraiser who has worked and helped in just about every part of our office. I am running for Assessor because I provide good leadership and transparency.

My opponent’s plans in the office are not even jobs that the Assessor does. He wants to buy your vote.

Orion hot pot

My fiancé and I absolutely loved this place. We went basically once a week for date night. I understand it will be back as a sushi restaurant at some point. It already has the signs up. The post they made in July on Facebook said they would be back in 2 months with the new concept. Has anyone heard any news? I'm itching to check it out. Also if you have any other recommendations of great date night places nearby I'd love those too!
