Why Fundraise? Poverty rates for individuals aged 65 and older in Archuleta County have risen from 5.2% to 9.0%, impacting approximately 1,300 individuals. The soirée is crucial for raising funds to support essential health and social services for vulnerable older adults and family caregivers in our community. Poverty in rural America presents barriers to vital resources for all age groups but older adults are especially vulnerable, including experiencing barriers to: healthcare, healthy food, and affordable housing among other critical supports. Archuleta Seniors Inc. operates independently as a non-profit, relying on public and private funding, donations, and over 70 community volunteers. Unfortunately, funding sources have been unstable, making your support vital for our efforts to serve the community effectively. Impact of Archuleta Seniors Inc. Since 2023, over 1,000+ unduplicated older adults and caregivers in Archuleta County have benefited annually from our signature nutrition program, which offers nutritious meals served in a welcoming environment. In 2024 alone, we provided approximately 25,000 meals, including deliveries to homebound older adults, a convenient grab-n-go service and dine-in/socialize options. Annually, we also serve 600+ unduplicated older adults and caregivers via facilitating quality referrals to local organizations/agencies, providing social connection and support through various activities, including community clinics, fun games, educational classes, discussion groups, and creative and empowering community events. Our local theatre in Pagosa Springs, Colorado is starting to offer Spanish language foreign films! First up and timely as ever is the film El Norte: When a group of Mayan Indians decides to organize a labor union to improve conditions in their village, their community is violently destroyed by the Guatemalan army. Teenage siblings, Rosa (Zaide Silvia Gutiérrez) and Enrique (David Villalpando) manage to escape the massacre and decide to start a new life in El Norte -- the USA. The two trek through Mexico, meeting a variety of characters and facing trials and tribulations on their journey toward lives as illegal immigrants in Los Angeles.  |
