Democrats Work, Volunteers for America, Metro Volunteers and the DNCC are hosting "Delegate Service Day". Over 1,000 of the great convention delegates including Michelle Obama and President Jimmy Carter will be fanning out across Denver to give back to the city that is inviting them in.

The Wisconsin delegation will be helping on five projects; working with homeless teens, serving meals at Trinity Church, hosting a reading project for kids, making fleece blankets for patients in hospice care, and playing with the children at a home for low income families.
