Our Fort Collins, CO Neighborhood

Name: Chili Cook Off
Start: 2024-10-11T17:00:00-06:00

We are a kind, respectful, inclusive neighborhood, working together to build community and reduce our ecological footprint.

Parkwood East has a No Waste Bin of 25 reusable dishes, cups and silverware that can be used at your gathering with family or friends. The purpose of this Bin is to reduce the use of single use plastics that get thrown away, but really never go away. They just break down into microplastics that pollute soil and water and end up in our oceans and our bodies.

To check out the No Waste Bin, please contact focotrashmob@gmail.com to reserve the bin at least two days before your event. There is a $20 fee, of which $15 is reimbursed when items are returned in the same condition they were picked up. You can pick up the bin at Maureen’s house, 1643 Dogwood Court. We’ll be tracking how much single use plastic is saved in Parkwood East by using this bin!

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: Earth Day 2024 has passed, but the FOCO trash mob is still at it. If you’d like to help, please let them know: FoCo Trash Mob.

Book Club: You can sign up for our book club by clicking here.

Veggie Share: Please put any extra veggies from your garden in a bag or box and leave them by your mailbox for others to pick up.

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.
