May is Older Americans Month, and the Office on Aging once again invites you to celebrate with us at its annual spring community event! The Answers on Aging Fair combines education, awards, and community connection for adults 60 years and older, caregivers, and anyone who wants to plan for their future.
The fair will be located at the Pedersen Toyota Center, formerly known as the First National Bank Building. Admission and parking are free. No pre-registration is required!
MyFriendBen helps you find the government benefits, nonprofit programs and tax credits you’re eligible for. Quickly estimate the cash value of those programs and the time it takes to sign up, so you can make a plan before you apply.
This tool is fast (complete in 6 minutes), anonymous, and judgment-free. It has been built through the input of Denver-area families and is used in multiple Colorado counties.
The Office on Aging has a variety of classes throughout the year to help caregivers. The classes can help you focus on your well-being while caring for someone else. Classes are free but registration is required. Check out the schedule below for dates and locations.

The Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) has informed local counties that replacement benefits for stolen SNAP funds are no longer available.

Clients with concerns about this change are encouraged to contact their federal representatives, as the decision was made at the national level.
Due to budget constraints, the Larimer County Department of Human Services will implement changes to the Child Care Assistance Program effective Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024.
