Southwest Colorado Chapter The Red Cross does not accept individual donations of material items (called "in-kind" donations) because receipt of such items can actually hamper relief efforts. The financial and personnel cost of receiving, sorting, transporting goods and ensuring the quality and cleanliness of items donated by individual households is very high. It does not allow for individuals and families to receive what they uniquely need in their own size and shape. The traditional method of providing Red Cross assistance is with a voucher, redeemable at local stores and paid for with donation dollars, that enables victims to purchase what they need in the correct sizes and in accordance with their own taste. Making even these small decisions helps individuals begin to take control of their lives and their recovery. In addition, this process helps channel money into the local economy and thus aids the community in recovery from disaster. The Red Cross does accept large corporate donations of food, bottled water and other items needed by the disaster-affected communities.
Alternative Horizons To offer assistance and alternatives to victims/survivors of domestic violence and to educate the residents of the community about such abuse.

    Starting Tuesday, two offices in City Hall will end public interface an hour earlier because employees are stretched thin.

  • Fuel efficiency is a burning issue at the library
    I pulled into the library in my little, gutless 36-mpg car and found an SUV in one "fuel efficient" parking space and a 1970s-era pickup in another. Assuming that being at the library implies literacy and the ability to read signs, perhaps there's some other reasoning here. What exactly did they have in mind as energy "efficient" when they, whomever they are, designated those spots? - Easily
  • Labor Day 2010
    In the 1930s, unemployment plagued this country. Not only was the unemployment rate high, perhaps 25 percent at its peak, but in those days, most households had only one wage earner. When he was out of work, there was no family income to speak of. And even those who had jobs at the time were often underemployed or employed part time.
  • FLC back to form vs. West Texas AM
    The No. 1-ranked Fort Lewis College men's soccer team needed a spark after uncharacteristically dropping its opener to No. 18 Colorado Mines on Friday in Golden, a loss which equaled the team's total from the entire 2009 national championship season.
