On May 1, at its inaugural Community Fair, the Larimer County Office on Aging honored two Larimer County residents for their volunteerism, positive attitude, and impact for older adults.
The Older Americans Month Awards, given for Outstanding Senior Volunteer and Outstanding Family Caregiver, were presented by Office on Aging Advisory Council Chair Jacque Penfold and Commissioners Shadduck-McNally and Kefalas during a ceremony that closed out the event. These awards are given annually as a way to show appreciation for older adults and caregivers in our community.

Due to budget constraints, the Larimer County Department of Human Services has implemented an immediate enrollment freeze for its Colorado Child Care Assistance Program. Current CCAP families will remain on the program, provided that they continue to meet eligibility criteria.
Prospective applicants should still apply, but a full eligibility review will be postponed until the freeze is lifted. Exceptions will be made for families in child welfare or the Colorado Works program, ensuring their eligibility determination and potential inclusion in the program if qualified.
