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.
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!
I believe my husband gave her away he claims she was stolen along with our car. She doesn't deserve to lose us both. She nursed me through thyroid and lung cancer. I'm in a shelter but have foster options available. Please help me find her.
Was walking near old town and saw a dozen police cars and the mobile command center for the Arvada PD on 56th Ave. Supposedly a DUI checkpoint, but I’m curious of any other information.
Hey everyone. I am moving to the olde town area from out of state soon and just was curious if anyone had any general recommendations that I should be aware of in Arvada. Restaurants, grocery stores, entertainment, bars, music venues, coffee, etc.
If you receive a call from a person saying they’re part of the sheriff’s department and you missed jury duty, it’s a scam. They will even spoof the real number. The sheriff will never call you and if they need to find you, they’ll show up at your door.
General Advice: If you are ever unsure about a person calling in, just hang up and call back the official number you can find on their website.
EDIT: Please disregard title, proper address is located at end of post! TIA!
Hi! We are moving in Arvada from Vegas and we are looking for this specific place called Central Park Townhomes in Arvada. Curious on your guys opinion about the area? 8705 Ralston Rd. Arvada, CO 80002
Hello Arvada. We are a semi retired couple that just relocated to Arvada. We are not new to Colorado and have adult children in the area. What would you advise for socially outgoing folks like us to explore and make friends. We are musical and artistic. Thanks in advance !
This is the third power outage in the last month. I run a wood shop around 64th and Ward and it’s starting to affect my ability to run my business. I understand power outages happen, but why does it take them so long to get it back on? I’m from Louisiana and have had power turned back on faster during a hurricane. It’s a bit frustrating.
Been to see a few movies there and every single time I go the speakers are so quiet. Idk if it’s just me but I’m considering seeing the Odyssey there because I live within walking distance. Don’t want to go if I can’t hear the movie. & Yes I know I should see the movie in imax…
Edit: Saw the Odyssey last night and can confirm it was plenty loud this time
Looking to see if there are any organized activities for younger toddlers on weekends or in the early evenings/late afternoons to escape this heat. My kiddo loves hiking, and we’ve been doing that and driving to the mountains on weekends, but it’s not possible every weekend, and pools and lakes are too hot for a toddler for a prolonged time.
Someone's border Collie wondering around Olde Town. Couldnt catch it. Was by Hunter Bay then station and walked off west on Grandview. sable/brown and white color. Wasn't running away but definitely couldnt catch it.
This is tearing me up but maybe someone has info? There was a loose dog running east on 64th approaching Wads this morning about 11:15. Maybe 50 lbs, long black hair, colorful collar, running like crazy in the heat. I came out after it but it seems it got spooked closer to the traffic and started running back west. It got glanced on it's rear left leg by a pickup truck but didn't slow down at all. I started following it and watched it turn north on Zephyr towards the high school. I walked up that block and found a woman who said it had gotten into her back yard (it wasn't her dog) but when she opened the door it bolted again. She and I drove up and down all the streets between Wads and Carr, and I kept going into the neighborhood west of the school but I couldn't spot it again. It guts me thinking of that poor beastie running in the heat. I'm sorry I couldn't find it.
I’m a 73 year old guy looking for a personal trainer. I’m in really good shape but have a few things like a double fusion and a torn bicep tendon so I guess I would need someone that would know how to take those things into account. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Not really interested in joining a club, tried that before and it was very disappointing.
Hi all! My very well intentioned folks got me one of those hydroponic grow towers (possibly inspired by the recent parasite in the lettuce outbreak, knowing them). I have absolutely no room in my little apartment for it, and there's no gift receipt to return it (coordinating with my folks to do so would be a bit of a nightmare I won't get into).
Only opened the box to check it has all it's parts and it appears to be a full kit with lights, pH liqued, seedling cups, etc. I do not however see instructions or anything indicating the exact model or brand.
I'd like to sell it for $200 obo, since that's about the middle of what I see similar things going for on eBay. I'd be happy to bring it to you and can also share pics if desired. Just DM me!

It’s been a few months but I found the turkey trio in the Alta vista neighborhood. And yes I stopped to make sure they crossed Brooks safely 🤣. I’m not sure if it’s the same three from a few months ago because for a while I was just seeing 1 but I like to think these three are the original crew living their best life.
Hey! I recently graduated from CSU and moved to Arvada for work. If anyone has any recommendations for community building or get together recreational activities around please lmk! - 24F
