A Resource Center Delivers Local Support for Monte Vista Veterans

  • Local Champion: National Veterans Hiring Association
  • Date Funded: June 28, 2024
  • Grant Amount: $30,000

Despite a sizable veteran population, Monte Vista has no place where veterans and first responders can access resources tailored to their needs. They must travel to other towns in the San Luis Valley to receive essential services and participate in dedicated activities, leaving many veterans and first responders without the local support they need. Staff with Valley Veterans ReCreation, a nonprofit that aims to meet the unique needs and interests of veterans and first responders, had the idea to create a local hub in Monte Vista. The problem? Creating a resource center is expensive. So, they reached out to LOR. LOR’s funding will help Valley Veterans ReCreation, which runs under the National Veterans Hiring Association, pay the down payment and a future mortgage payment on a building in the heart of Monte Vista. With a spacious layout and versatile design, the new resource center will provide ample room for activities and programs that promote the well-being of our heroes.
