Montrose County Approves One-Time Funding for West End Family Link
MONTROSE, Colo. – The Montrose County Board of County Commissioners voted during a special meeting Thursday, September 17, to provide $75,000 in one-time funding to the West End Family Link Center.
Based in Nucla, West End Family Link has served the area since 1993 and provides free services to residents in the West End and surrounding communities. Services include food assistance, senior food boxes, the BackPacks for Kids program, utility assistance and help connecting people with other resources.
West End Family Link asked the County for assistance with an immediate funding shortfall. After considering the request during the special meeting, commissioners approved the funding to help cover the immediate gap while the organization works to find other funding.
The $75,000 is a one-time allocation from the Board intended to help West End Family Link get back on its feet while it works to identify and pursue other funding sources.
