It's our solemn duty to honor the sacrifices of our veterans, including those who bear the visible and invisible wounds of war and those who continue to serve our communities in civilian life.

In particular we would like to thank Jefferson County Human Services, Jefferson County Public Health and Jefferson County's Emergency Management team.

We would also like to thank nonprofits like The Action Center for working every day to help those in need.

This topic is especially fitting and close to our hearts as thousands in our community were recently impacted by the pause in SNAP benefits due to the federal government shutdown.

We are thankful to Jeffco staff that worked hard to connect residents with food resources during the shutdown.

Jefferson County Commissioners Andy Kerr, Lesley Dahlkemper and Rachel Zenzinger proclaimed Nov. 16-22, 2025 as Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.

Hunger and homelessness are intertwined: food insecurity often leads to housing instability, and vice versa.
