VA RECREATIONAL THERAPY PROGRAM
The VA Recreational Therapy Program is not tax funded and relies solely on donations. The therapy program introduces local disabled vets to community recreational programs- fishing, kayaking, biking, etc. This money used goes directly back into our community- whether its a swimming lesson at OM pool, bike equipment from a local bike shop, or fishing at one of our lakes.
LATIMER HOUSE
Hilltop's Latimer House helps those who have experienced domestic violence or sexual assault move from crisis to confidence. Latimer House provides intimate partner violence and sexual assault services for anyone in Western Colorado including Mesa, Montrose, Delta and Ouray Counties. They offer emergency safe houses, advocacy, and 24 hour crisis lines.
