Our Fort Collins, CO Neighborhood
We are a kind, respectful, inclusive neighborhood, working together to build community and reduce our ecological footprint.
Volunteer Opportunities
TGP Library: The Toy, Game, and Puzzle Library (located in the Foothills Mall) is always looking for donations and volunteers.
FoCo Trash Mob: Volunteer and/or participate in events with FoCo Trash Mob! We are the only group in NoCo that educates, legislates, and nudges corporations around SUPs (Single-Use-Plastics). You can get credit through VolunteerMatch.
Friday Afternoon Gatherings: We are looking for PE neighbors to host our monthly Friday Afternoon Gatherings. All you need to provide is a table on your driveway! If interested please contact Mary at mlhecf@gmail.com
Book Club: You can sign up for our book club by clicking here.
EPIC Gate Access
We are spreading awareness about a plan by the City of Fort Collins to open the EPIC gate on Stuart Street. Please continue to write to the City Council and talk to your neighbors about this.
More info, how to get involved and yard signs can be found here.
Neighborhood Activities: If you’d like to help with organizing a neighborhood event, please let us know and we can help you with marketing and logistics. If you know of a new neighbor moving into Parkwood East, please email Mary so that a member of our leadership team can drop off a welcome packet.

Zero Waste Party Bins
Hey neighbors! Parkwood East has two No Waste Bins that provide a total of 50 reusable dishes, cups and silverware for you to borrow for your gatherings. This is a partnership with the global Party Kit Network and the local FoCo Trash Mob! It’s easy to reduce your use of SUPs (single use plastics) that get thrown away, but really never go away. They just break down into microplastics that pollute soil, water, air and eventually end up in our bodies!
To borrow the bins, please go HERE and reserve it at least two days before your event. There is a $30 deposit, of which $25 is reimbursed when items are returned in the same condition they were picked up. If you would like FoCo Trash Mob to clean the items, we will keep the $30 as a donation. FYI: over a million SUPs have been avoided so far!
