Exploring & expressing grief

Support groups and events, as well as creative therapies and professional counseling, are all ways in which Pathways supports individuals dealing with grief and loss.

“We are thrilled at the opportunity to better our community, and we hope that every downtown Wellington business will consider how this grant program may give them the resources they need to reinvest in their properties,” Wendy DuBord, executive director of Wellington Colorado Main Streets Program, said in a prepared statement.

Grants are limited to $5,000 per project and must be matched by the property owners, an independent source or through a Points West Community Bank small-business loan. These loans will be available unsecured and at the current market rate.

Applications are due Aug. 15 and may be picked up at Points West Community Bank in Wellington or at the Wellington Chamber of Commerce.
