Resources Available for the Community
A comprehensive guide to healthcare, legal services, education, and food assistance available through our foundation and partners.
Navigating life in a new community can be challenging, especially in rural areas where services may be harder to find. You do not have to do it alone. Viva Resource, along with our network of community partners across Colorado Eastern Plains, offers a wide range of services designed to support families at every stage of their journey.
Healthcare Access
We help connect families with free and low-cost healthcare services, including primary care, dental care, mental health counseling, and pediatric services. Our team assists with enrollment in community health programs, Medicaid, and CHP+ (Child Health Plan Plus), and provides referrals to bilingual healthcare providers in the region. Learn more about our healthcare navigation work.
Legal Services
Through partnerships with legal aid organizations, we offer information sessions, referral services, and know-your-rights workshops. While we do not provide direct legal representation, we can connect you with trusted professionals who can guide you through housing, work permits, family law, and other legal matters.
Education and Employment
We offer English language classes, job readiness workshops, resume building assistance, and connections to local employers who value diverse talent. We also provide information about educational opportunities for children and adults, including GED preparation, scholarship resources, and school enrollment support.
Food Assistance
From food bank referrals to nutrition education programs, we work to ensure that no family goes hungry. We partner with local food banks, USDA commodity distribution sites, and community gardens to improve food access in rural areas. Visit our Get Help page or contact us directly to learn more. All services are free and open to all residents.
