In June, this generous congregation donated $2,982.24 to our local Respite Care, Inc.
Respite Care, Inc is a nonprofit organization in Larimer County that provides short-term specialized care to children with developmental disabilities, giving respite to parents and enhancing the quality of life for the entire family.
Respite Care, Inc provides care for children ages 6 weeks to 21 years old. In order to qualify for care, all clients must live in Larimer County, and must have a developmental disability. The children can stay over night for up to two weeks if parents need a break. AND they have a prom, a summer camp and wilderness camp experience that you too can participate in . . . if you volunteer.
This organization has grown from its inception with 15 kids to its current capacity of 55! We live in a blessed community.
