In early 2021, when volunteerism was at an all time low, Tanya Burks (Rocky Mountain Region Acquisition Director) was actively serving her community. She filled over 150 hygiene necessities bags for the homeless on Valentine’s Day. These “love bags’’ were handed out to men, women and children at and around the Denver Rescue Mission. Burks was overwhelmed with emotion from their gratitude and decided she wanted to do more. Throughout 2021 and into 2022, she continued to fill and hand out bags. Then in May of 2022, Burks officially started Building a Giving Society (BAGS)! Read more>

President Biden has made outfitting the federal government fleet with electric vehicles one of his administration’s top priorities after issuing an Executive Order (EO) in late January. Electric vehicles are clean and zero-emission, which helps the environment, but they require an infrastructure of charging stations that can keep those cars operational. The Denver Federal Center (DFC) is already poised to support that effort because there are currently 11 electric vehicle charging stations installed around the campus. Read more>>
The Denver Federal Center (DFC) has more than 40 buildings and a large street network on its approximately one-mile square campus that all have some sort of exterior lighting. While there is a large concentration of lighting fixtures, light pollution is not an issue thanks to the DFC being in compliance with what is known as Dark Sky. Implementing the Dark Sky compliance standards on the DFC is Michael Golenda, building management specialist on the DFC Roads and Grounds team. Read More>>
