Frank Anello first came to the building at 16th Avenue and Elmira Street as a volunteer, years ago, working to help refugee families establish roots in Aurora. At the time, the office building was known as the Colorado Refugee Wellness Center.
Back in 2020, he came back to the site — this time as the co-founder of Project Worthmore, a nonprofit serving the metro’s immigrant communities. Project Worthmore has turned the place into its headquarters — a project that marked a major milestone this week.
