Teller County, Colorado, Basic-Needs Service Use Rose 61 Percent in the First Quarter of 2026, Community Partnership Tells Commissioners
Cory Gorton, incoming president and chief executive of Community Partnership in Teller County, Colorado, told county commissioners on November 12 that the number of people using the organisation's food and basic-needs services rose 61 percent in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the same quarter of 2025.
The organisation's weekend food programme for students has grown from 17 to 26 students per week.
Its holiday gift programme provides presents to about 360 children each year, and a free Santa event is scheduled for December 19.
Gorton did not give underlying counts for the increase and did not attribute it to a single cause.
The organisation's current chief executive is Jodi Mijares.
