Inspired by Lakewood-based nonprofit the Action Center, Daylight Collective is a community hub brings a coalition of high-impact, mission-aligned partners together under one roof, so families can find coaching and resource navigation, no-cost food and clothing, health services, workforce and education support, and financial assistance.
Located at 1195 S. Teller St. in Lakewood, Pinkard Construction is converting the 107,000 square foot former elementary school into both a service place and a community space. Alongside an expanded no-cost food and clothing market and a new Family Zone, designed to grow the Action Center’s capacity to serve by at least 30%, the campus features shared spaces open to all: a community cafe, an event center, a coffee shop, and a gymnasium.
Additional confirmed Daylight Collective partners include:
Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH), offering WIC, immunizations, and family planning services
Paragon Behavioral Health Connections, providing behavioral health care for individuals, families, and children
CrossPurpose, offering workforce development navigation
Red Rocks Community College, providing educational programs including a high school diploma program for returning students
Skyhawks Youth Sports, leading youth recreation and gymnasium programming
Benefits in Action, helping families access public benefits
Pinkard Construction began renovation of the campus in March 2026, with design by Davis Partnership Architects, and project management by Artaic Group. The current renovation footprint covers 82,000 square feet of the building, with room to expand as additional partners join, and includes a newly built freestanding 7,000-square-foot storage-and-distribution building for the Action Center’s food hub. Exterior improvements include expanded parking, roadway upgrades, and a community garden.
The project continues an ongoing partnership between Pinkard and the Action Center that dates to 1991, when Pinkard helped convert the nonprofit’s current home, a former post office at 8755 W. 14th Ave.
