Hilltoppers,
Both of Hilltop’s Family Resource Centers recently received a delivery of emergency baby supplies from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) including baby formula, diapers, and wipes. These essential supplies will be distributed to families who cannot afford to purchase them, or who can’t find them in stock locally. This is just another great example of Hilltop rising to meet a need in the community.
The collaboration it took to see this project come to fruition is a wonderful example of Hilltop’s ‘relationships’ value. Staff at both the Montrose and GJ FRCs worked in partnership with the Statewide Feeding Task Force, Mesa County Department of Human Services, the Partnership for Children and Families (Early Childhood Council), and Mesa County Public Health Childcare Licensing to coordinate efforts with FEMA to bring these supplies to Western Colorado.
Many Hilltop staff and volunteers will be busy distributing these supplies over the next few weeks. The GJ pick up location is our Property Services Warehouse (1625 N. 15th Street), Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 8-10, and the Montrose pick up location will be the Senior Daybreak building (200 S. Uncompahgre Avenue), Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11-1, all while supplies remain available.
Thank you to everyone that made this statewide collaboration happen. By starting with the possibilities, you all made a wonderful thing happen for those most in need in our community.
Together, we got this,
-Mike
