A Digital Sign Puts Cortez Animal Programs on the Map

Cortez
  • Local Champion: Obe's Angels
  • Date Funded: April 22, 2026
  • Grant Amount: $2,000

Obe’s Angels, a community nonprofit, operates an affordable thrift store in Cortez that funds animal rescue programs and other services, but many residents don’t know it exists. After hearing from customers who hadn’t known about the store, the nonprofit’s founder reached out to LOR with an idea. LOR’s funding will help Obe’s Angels install a digital sign at the thrift store to increase community awareness and connect residents to essential animal programs across Cortez.
