We have an issue in Northern Colorado and we are determined to help shed light on it and to support Partners in their efforts to encourage Larimer residents to "Make the Call."  The No DUI Larimer coalition and campaign was born out of the need to address the problem of impaired driving in our community. The goal is to prevent driving under the influence of alcohol or other substances by increasing community responsibility for safe and responsible driving. Our campaign is encouraging the public to “Make the Call” to end impaired driving in our community. Make the Call to get a safe ride home. Make the Call about whether you should get behind the wheel, and Make the Call to report suspected impaired drivers. Driving under the influence IS an emergency–please call 911 if you see someone you suspect is driving impaired. Areas of focus for this group include:
Every day, almost 30 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes, that’s one person every 50 minutes. In 2019 more than 8,500 people were arrested for driving under the influence in Colorado. A needs assessment completed in October 2018 found that DUI/DWAI offenses are a significant issue in Larimer County due to a number of factors on which the dedicated members of the steering committee will focus through education, outreach, and policy change.  In 2020 roughly 65% of drivers arrested for a DUI tested positive for at least one drug (including alcohol) and 25.3% for two or more drugs. 25% of Larimer County adults reported binge drinking in the past month. This is higher than the state (18%) and national (16%) average. Ending impaired driving is a joint effort between law enforcement, government agencies, alcohol and cannabis retailers, local nonprofits, and the community. We need your help to stop impaired driving before it happens, and when it’s happening.  Ending impaired driving is a joint effort between law enforcement, government agencies, alcohol and cannabis retailers, local nonprofits, and the community. We need your help to stop impaired driving before it happens, and when it’s happening. Thanks for doing your part. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS INITIATIVE: Partners, who absorbed this project from the former nonprofit, Team Wellness & Prevention, is the lead agency on this five-year project which is now in its fourth year. Partners has engaged a steering committee, and named the project NO DUI LARIMER. Want to receive information on No DUI Larimer?

About Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley (St. Vrain Habitat) is dedicated to providing decent, affordable homeownership for working families in the St. Vrain Valley and Estes Valley School Districts. Established in 1988, Habitat's mission is 'Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.' At Habitat, our vision is a world where everyone has a decent, affordable place to live. Work That Matters For 34+ years, St. Vrain Habitat has partnered with families in our community to help them achieve the dream of owning a home. One in 7 Colorado families pays more than half their income on housing. Every month families are forced to make tough decisions about what they can afford: rent, food, child care, transportation, or health care. All Habitat homeowners complete a rigorous application process where they demonstrate a clear need for housing, the ability to pay a mortgage, and a willingness to partner through 'sweat equity' hours and preparedness classes. Through Habitat, families achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. The long-term impacts of homeownership include: enhanced wellbeing, improved educational outcomes, improved health, safer neighborhoods, increased safety, and reduced need for public assistance.

So of course, when Pamela and Lane Everitt reached out to see if we could assist them with a private fundraiser for their favorite charity, we said YES! "Furry Tacos" is the fun name they came up with. Angry Hippie served up delicious tacos, On the Rocks served as our mobile bar with the help of our friends at Wilbur's Total Beverage. Primary Event Rentals brought in beautiful farm tables, sitting areas and high-top tables for our guests. And what event would be complete without furry animal face painting, a photo wall and games for all?!?! Animal Friends Alliance is in a SAVING PETS CHALLENGE right now through the end of September.

Until next year, keep swinging NoCo!   High temperatures couldn’t put a damper on The Family Center-La Familia’s Fiesta Celebration! Supporters, staff, and community members joined together for a fabulous celebration at The Lyric that included hand mixed Margaritas, a tasty Nacho Bar, a silent auction bursting with items and activities, and fun Salsa Music provided by the Manabi Latin Band! Guests visited with one another on The Lyric’s outdoor theater grounds while listening to the festive tunes. They strolled through the silent auction, and many took advantage of purchasing Bird Cage tickets. The Family Center’s Annual Birdcage was full of thousands of dollars in gift cards and items, and one lucky winner’s ticket matched the padlock. A short program highlighted the work that The Family Center does each day, strengthening families and providing quality early childhood childcare and education. It also honored a long-time volunteer and supporter, Grandma Theresa. This important event and fundraiser helped to raise over $37,000 for The Family Center-La Familia’s programs and daily expenses. None of this would be possible without the support of the event’s hosts, sponsors, and generous donors. The Family Center-La Familia would like to thank event sponsors:  We had a wonderful time at the 2022 Meals on 4th event! We are so grateful for all of the sponsors, community partners, volunteers, attendees, and donors! You matter! You make a difference! Our friends at Meals on Wheels of Loveland and Berthoud hit their fundraising goal! We are proud to help put this event on. It is a heavy lift with over 100 people working in the background to make this happen. Great people - great cause! Thank you Lauren Leary for the photos. Small Business. Big Impact.
