Volunteers From Denver Rescue Mission Clean Up After Rockies Home Opener
DENVER (CBS4) - The Colorado Rockies were back in action at Coors Field on Saturday after Friday's home opener left a big mess downtown.
Volunteers and residents from the Denver Rescue Mission, along with Rockies staff, joined forces to clean up the Ballpark neighborhood Saturday morning.
The Rescue Mission's newest shelter is just blocks from Coors Field. Volunteers say the cleanup is their way of giving back to the community.
"Some of the program men and women who are at the mission now have come from the streets, and living on the streets, coming from addictions, different challenges in their lives; so it's a chance for them to kind of reflect on where they were and just kind of see their progress," said Alexxa Gagner, Director of Public Relations for the Rescue Mission.
About 70 volunteers helped with the cleanup.
