A Trailer Keeps Dollars Flowing to Cortez Youth Activities

For years, volunteers with the Kiwanis Club of Mesa Verde have worked to raise money for local youth while bringing free community events to Cortez families. But without a reliable way to transport equipment, event setup and breakdown have become a recurring burden on the club’s volunteers, with canopies, tables, and chairs scattered across members’ personal vehicles. After one club member raised these challenges at a weekly meeting, another club volunteer came up with a solution. LOR’s funding helped the Kiwanis Club of Mesa Verde purchase an enclosed trailer, giving volunteers a single, organized space to store and transport all event equipment. The trailer will serve as a long-term asset for the club, allowing more fundraised dollars to flow directly to youth activities in Montezuma and Dolores counties.
