The Thrift Store is officially OPEN today!

And to celebrate, we have some exciting news — we were featured on CBS Colorado!

The SOL Center was built by this community, for this community — bringing food access, financial help, peer support, and mental health care together under one roof so Summit County residents can get what they need without bouncing all over the county.

"This building is the dream." — FIRC Interim Executive Director Carla Decker

Thank you to every donor, volunteer, partner, and neighbor who made this possible. Watch the full CBS Colorado segment here:

A new community building in Breckenridge is trying to make life a little easier for locals struggling to survive in one of Colorado's most expensive mountain communities.

CBS stopped by the Sol Center today to spotlight all the incredible things happening under one roof, from our thrift store (soft opening May 28th!) to our community food market serving 700 families and individuals each week, and the life-changing services that FIRC and Building Hope are able to provide together for our community.

Thank you to Spencer and Clint for visiting the Sol Center and helping share these stories. Tune in tonight at 5PM and 6:30PM on CBS News!

20 years at FIRC, 7 years as our Executive Director, forever a part of FIRC’s story!

From navigating COVID, to helping turn the vision of the Sol Center into a reality, Brianne Snow has been part of so many defining moments along the way. She reminds us DAILY of why this work matters.
Being named the Summit Foundation’s Outstanding Nonprofit Professional of the Year at the end of 2025 is just one reflection of the impact she’s had on this community.

Her dedication to our community and its members is unforgettable. Thank you, Brianne 🤍
