WeCAN welcomes you to Denver’s West Colfax neighborhood! Founded in 2009, WeCAN is the Registered Neighborhood Organization (RNO) for the West Colfax neighborhood in the City and County of Denver; Federal Blvd. to Sheridan Blvd. and 17th/19th Ave. to Lakewood Dry Gulch/12th Ave.

West Colfax has a rich and diverse history in Denver. Over 100 years ago, West Colfax developed as the residential and business center for the Jewish Community, and several large Victorian homes were built along Stuart St., now a historic district. West Colfax Avenue became a part of US Highway 40 in the 1940s, a 26 mile stretch through Denver where hotels, restaurants, and clubs were built; reminders of them still dot Colfax today. West Colfax remains one of the most diverse and culturally unique neighborhoods in Denver.

WeCAN’s mission is Bringing Neighbors Together to Build Community. WeCAN hosts a variety of social events and volunteer opportunities throughout the year and meets the second Tuesday of the month (January-May, September-November), 6:00pm, at 1400 Quitman St.

WeCAN strives to connect neighbors to one another, events, and news in West Colfax. Sign-up to receive our newsletter, follow us on Facebook and Instagram, or attend a meeting or event to stay informed and get involved in your West Colfax neighborhood.
