Helping Hand Fund

The Helping Hand Fund, administered through the Montrose Community Foundation (MCF), provides charitable assistance to help individuals of Montrose County to be self-sufficient and productive by providing for basic human needs. The goal of this fund is to provide a relatively quick way to meet the needs of individuals requiring a "Helping Hand," while not duplicating services covered elsewhere.

The Helping Hand Fund has provided:

Gas Cards to travel to Denver for medical care

Support shoes to help regain a healthy lifestyle

Bed and bedding for a mother who left an abusive situation

Tooth extraction for a family caregiver

Counseling help for an adolescent

Bathroom remodel for a child with special needs

Funeral expenses to help in a difficult situation

Car seat for a single mom

Hearing aids for a service worker who worked closely with the public

The Helping Hand fund continues to receive requests for help from agencies or professional sponsors and we are reaching out to ask for your continuing support. As daily lives continue to be more expensive, the need for the Helping Hand Fund is crucial for our community.
