Mountain Family Center has been serving the people of Grand County for 42 years. Originally started by a handful of volunteers who simply wanted to help their neighbors, the Mountain Family Center is now a central distribution system for food, clothing, financial assistance and special services for individuals and families across Grand County and parts of Jackson County.
 
Helen joined the Mountain Family Center as Executive Director in 2013 following careers at the National Sports Center for the Disabled, Grand County Rural Health Network, The Grand Foundation and the Kremmling Memorial Hospital District.
 
 Interesting facts:

• Mountain Family Center usually buys $30,000-$50,000 in groceries annually, but in 2020 & 2021 the amount will be more like $75,000-$100,000 to support those in need due to Covid & the fires.
