As we reflect on the month of May, we wanted to highlight the mural that the youth advisory council designed! The mural was unveiled in May and is definitely a highlight of the month. Shoutout to for making this amazing project possible. What did you enjoy from the month of May?

Southeast Colorado Springs is home to many cultures, stories, and communities that help shape who we are. ๐ŸŒ

As we celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, weโ€™re highlighting the Asian communities that are part of the Colorado Springs story, including Korean American and Filipino families, businesses, restaurants, and cultural spaces that bring so much richness to our neighborhoods.

Community is built through people, places, food, traditions, and the stories we share.

What local AAPI-owned business, restaurant, or cultural spot should more people know about?

Mental wellness grows stronger when the community is part of the conversation. ๐Ÿ’™

A kind check-in, a shared meal, a walk with a neighbor, or simply showing up for someone can make a real difference. Connection is one of the small but powerful ways we support each other.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, letโ€™s keep building spaces where people feel seen, supported, and connected.

Who is someone in your community who always makes you feel supported?

In observance of Memorial Day, our office will be closed today as we take time to honor and remember those who have served and sacrificed. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

We hope everyone has a safe and meaningful holiday surrounded by family, community, and reflection.

Regular office hours will resume tomorrow.

Food & mood are more connected than we sometimes realize. What we eat, how we hydrate, and even who we share a meal with can shape our energy, focus, and connection to others. Small choices add up. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Month, this is a good reminder that supporting our wellness doesn't have to be complicated. A balanced bowl, a glass of water, a meal with someone you love... it all counts.

What food brings you comfort or joy? Share it in the comments!

Happy AAPI Heritage Month! We're shining a light on Tong Tong, a Korean restaurant right here in Southeast COS. From sizzling bulgogi and japchae to a stone-bowl bibimbap, they're bringing the flavor. ๐Ÿฅข
Supporting local AAPI-owned businesses is one way we get to celebrate the culture, stories, and community that make Southeast what it is.
Share your favorite AAPI eatery in the comments so neighbors can check them out!
