Finding Local Food Assistance Help

No president - Democrat or Republican - has ever fully stopped SNAP benefits. Until now, thanks to Donald Trump and the GOP government shutdown.

If you or someone you know is facing hardship and food insecurity by the cuts, help is available here:

  •  FINDHELP.ORG will provide a list of local resources for emergency food assistance, housing, and financial help.
  • Healthy Archuleta coordinates a network of local food pantries at churches and nonprofits in uptown and downtown Pagosa Springs, Aspen Springs and Arboles. Food is available from at least one location six days a week. Find details here. (Older adults needing a ride to a local food pantry should contact the Archuleta County MET to schedule a ride with their para-transit service. Please contact the MET at 970-264-2250.)
  • Pagosa Community Initiative, 550 B Hot Springs Blvd. (under DHS), provides a small emergency shelf for families who can’t make food bank hours. Mon-Thurs, 9 am-4 pm.

More Than 500 Marched to Protest Trump

Pagosa Springs saw terrific turnout for the June 14 No Kings protest, one of thousands held nationwide. 

The group met at Town Park, walked along our main street past the old courthouse, crossed at the Bell Tower, walked down to First Street, and then crossed and headed back to the park. 

Along the way, we got plenty of supportive honks and waves from passing cars. A Trump Train of about 10 pickups passed by, and their reaction wasn't quite so positive. And that's cool. Because we support everyone's right to political expression. 

Follow our friends at Equality Pagosa in Indivisible for more information on upcoming demonstrations.
