NEWS & OPPORTUNITIES

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE

Mental & Behavioral Health Survey

YVCF and several partner agencies are collaborating on a community-wide mental and behavioral health survey that will help inform future interventions and potentially help bring additional partnerships and funding to this critical issue in Northwest Colorado.

We're asking nonprofits for your help in spreading the word about the survey!

The more participation from a variety of diverse voices, the better the resulting data will be, so we are thankful for your help encouraging participation among your staff, clients, donors, volunteers, and the community at large. Below is a flyer you can print, post, and distribute.

Here are some ways you might spread the word:

• Share the survey in a client newsletter
• Print flyers to display in a waiting room or gathering space
• Talk about the survey in staff meetings
• Share on your social media channels
• Ask your fiends and family to participate

We truly appreciate your assistance with this effort!

OPPORTUNITY

United Way Holiday Food Card Drive - Moffat County

Do you work with families that fall at or below 300% of poverty and could use support with food insecurity this holiday season?

United Way of the Yampa Valley's Holiday Food Card Program is available for the first time in Moffat County. They are taking nominations of families in need until Saturday, December 6. Nominators are responsible for verifying eligibility criteria of nominees.

If the family does not meet the criteria (300% Federal Poverty Level), but has had a recent event such as a job loss or other circumstance that has left them with food insecurity, please let UWYV know. 

Please reach out to Jamie Miller with questions.
