The Fabric of Summit County


During the 2022FY, FIRC witnessed an increase in demand for all service areas and served 45% more clients than the previous fiscal year. FIRC wants to express our most heartfelt gratitude for your support of our programs, staff, and volunteers. It is you, our community partners, donors, volunteers, and community advocates who make it possible for FIRC to serve and uplift our community.
One family that was served this past year approached FIRC expressing a need for rental assistance. The client, diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, had to stop working due to the side effects and frequent chemotherapy sessions. The client’s partner and sole income earner often had to balance work with caring for his spouse. The family initially utilized their savings, but then required assistance to cover their rent. FIRC was able to assist this family with their financial needs so that the client was able to focus on their recovery and remain in Summit County. Despite the hardships, the client remains hopeful for a full recovery and expresses gratitude for the support from FIRC.

The story from the family above is just one of more than 8,000 individuals served in 2022. As the community continues to evolve and change each year, FIRC has adapted to meet the growing needs. FIRC provides critical services including food, health care connection, financial empowerment, and peer and parenting support to ensure that Summit County is a thriving community with a flourishing workforce.
In appreciation,
Brianne SnowCommunity Health Navigators assist households with health insurance enrollment for the marketplace (Connect for Health Colorado), CHP+, Medicaid, and food assistance programs like SNAP, WIC & Free Reduced Meal Program (FRMP), education on how to use your insurance coverage, and assistance with health insurance issues.
The purpose of the Financial Empowerment program is to assist households on their financial journey, set goals, and establish connections to community resources. Financial Empowerment covers rental assistance, financial wholeness planning, utility assistance, and medical assistance.
FIRC’s Community Food Markets provide options for fresh, healthy, and nutritious food; while also helping families stretch their budgets, save, and connect to additional community resources. The Food Markets provide access to no-cost groceries, household and hygiene items. We encourage all residents to visit once a week to receive up to $200 worth of groceries. To ensure the food system is grounded in equity and responsive to community need the FIRC Food Equity Coalition was created. The coalition has 12 individuals that drive community policy, and improve accessibility and choice for those utilizing the Food Markets. The Food Equity Coalition serves as our advisory board and leads change in our Food Markets.
FIRC helps break down barriers and guide community members to the care they need, whether it is mental health support or a peer support program. Mental Health Navigators offer simple navigation and referrals to get locals connected to resources. Peer support services help individuals build social networks and empower them make positive changes in their lives. Parents gain resources, increase knowledge of child development, develop positive parenting skills, meet other parents in this community, and strengthen their support network through visitaions with our Parent
