The distribution will take place at St. George’s Church (corner of W. 4th & Pine Streets) from 8:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
If you, or someone you know is in need, please stop by for a food box. Volunteers to help with distribution are also appreciated.

9 Health Fair Scheduled for April 9, Needs Volunteers
Leadville’s 9 Health Fair has been scheduled for Saturday, April 9, 2016. The fair will be held at the Lake County Intermediate School from 7 a.m. – Noon. Not much has changed with the Leadville health fair which serves 400 -500 people every year.
Hundreds of Leadville and Lake County residents take advantage of the low and no-cost health screenings at the 9Health Fair schedule this year for April 9, 2016.
A full list of health screenings will be announced in the near future, but for now, the fair is also looking for volunteers.
So here’s your opportunity to show how much rural healthcare means to remote communities like Leadville and Lake County. It doesn’t take much time, or all day even. There are shorter volunteer shifts and many of them DO NOT involve medical knowledge not interaction (i.e. you won’t have to take someone’s blood!)
If you are able to give some time to this worthy cause, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Rhonda Huggins via email grannyhugs2011@hotmail.com, phone (719) 486-1005 or join the next meeting on Monday, Feb. 22, 11 a.m. at the Lake County Senior Center.
