www.womensbeanproject.com/HGTV’s Change the World. Start at Home campaign is a community revitalization project in ten cities, one of which is Denver. Each community will receive funding for specific community projects. However, people can vote for the cities they feel are the most deserving of a makeover. The most ‘popular’ cities will receive additional funding from HGTV and be featured on the network.

If Denver is selected, the Curtis Park District in Five Points neighborhood will receive much needed attention through the renovation to the Women's Bean Project facility and funding for Denver's Mile High Million tree planting program.

The Women’s Bean Project is an organization committed to teaching job readiness and life skills to local women with a history of chronic unemployment and poverty and limited job skills and education through employment in gourmet food manufacturing. Due to space limitations, the Bean Project must turn away nearly half of the women who apply for services. Renovations in the facility will allow them to expand programs by at least 30% and help a great deal more women gain the confidence and skills needed to turn their lives around. 

Denver’s Mile High Million program goal is to add one million new trees to the Denver Metro by the year 2025. HGTV will support a tree planting program on Stout Street and Park Avenue to beautify and improve the area.
