Local Community Fund Highlight!

With support from the West Elk Community Fund, North Fork Senior Connections delivered 560 quarts of soup to 70 seniors, powered by nearly 300 volunteer hours and strong local partnerships.

More than a meal, this program created connection, care, and regular check-ins for some of the community’s most vulnerable neighbors.

This is the power of the West Elk Community Fund, managed by Western Colorado Community Foundation, where local generosity stays local and supports Paonia, Hotchkiss, and Crawford.
