Larimer County Government

05/29/2026

Behind every cup of coffee shared today is a ripple effect of healing across Larimer County.

This morning, our team hosted a Coffee & Connections event at LIMA COFFEE in Fort Collins. Although the immediate goal was helping local behavioral health professionals navigate their 2026 Impact Fund Grant applications, the true impact went deeper.

Every single provider who joined us represents hundreds — if not thousands — of neighbors, friends, and family members receiving vital mental health and substance-use support.

This is what it’s all about:

Intentional investment: Putting dedicated behavioral health tax dollars to work where they matter most.

Stronger bonds: Creating spaces for providers to connect, collaborate, and lift each other up.

We aren't just funding programs; we are strengthening Larimer County's entire system of care. Thank you to all the incredible providers who showed up today. Your dedication is the heart of our community! 💚
