Public Health Department program will receive the same amount of money
On Tuesday morning, the Montezuma County Board of County Commissioners unanimously voted to renew the annual funding for the Public Health Department’s diaper program.
Born out of a pandemic need for diapers and other supplies, the program is funded by the Colorado Department of Human Services. It is managed and run by a division of the Public Health Department called Women, Infants and Children.
The grant provides the program with $55,039.05, which includes $4,000 for 120 hours of staff time.
The diaper program serves about 170 families per month, and does not have the funding to accept new clients.
