NEWS RELEASE
WELD COUNTY
*************************
Weld Project Connect will happen this year, but we know that it will look very different. The usual event with large in-person meetings face-to-face is not an option this year due to COVID19 restrictions and safety factors.

The event will be virtually utilizing the 2-1-1 call center with local call specialists handling the calls to get the guest connected with the service they need. 

Oct. 12 will focus on information and education such as library cards, District 6 enrollment, AIMS career assessment, and reading assessment appointments.

Oct. 13 will be health and wellness services such as mammogram vouchers, appointments for TDAP, HEP A, and HIV testing, North Range Behavioral Health, and Women and Children (WIC). 

Oct. 14 will be services related to documentation such as veterans services, child support payments, child care assistance, employment services, resumes, appointments for birth certificates, senior services, Medicaid or CHP questions, medical power of attorney, and register to vote. 

Oct. 15 will be community assistance services, which include emergency preparedness, women’s clothing, housing assistance, Greeley Family House, A Woman’s Place, Jobs of Hope, talk to an attorney, and Connections for Independent Living.

Oct. 16 at Island Grove Park there will be a drive-thru that includes food boxes, hygiene kits, and Files of Life documentation and diapers if needed. Flu shots will be available from Walgreens. Services are subject to change. The UC Blood Mobile will be available for blood donations on site.

Volunteers are needed in a limited capacity, see if any of these options fit your needs. Sign up today https://volunteer.unitedway-weld.org/need/
