Throwback to a colorful September day at Pastels on 5th! 🎨✨

As the crisp fall air settles in, we’re remembering the warmth and creativity of this amazing event. We were proud to sponsor a local artist who brought their vision to life in a stunning chalk masterpiece.

Pastels on 5th is more than an art festival—it’s a community event with a mission to raise awareness and support for survivors of domestic violence. We’re honored to be part of an effort that combines creativity with compassion. 💜

👻 Happy Halloween from The Arc of Larimer County!

From spooky spirits to silly skeletons, we celebrate ghouls, ghosts, and goblins of all abilities. Our mission? Making sure individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities can access their community & receive the support they need — no tricks, just treats!

We were thrilled to sponsor & partake in this year's NoCo Down Syndrome Walk! 💙🎉

We proudly joined hundreds of advocates, families, and friends to celebrate inclusion, raise awareness, and support individuals with Down syndrome. Events like this remind us why advocacy matters—and why community makes all the difference!

10/27/2025

We believe that everyone deserves access to food. No exceptions.

We’ve put together a list of low-barrier food resources in the Fort Collins area community—specifically for people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. English and Spanish here: https://tinyurl.com/2hvf32r5

Know of other accessible food resources? Drop them in the comments and let us know if there are any requirements to access them (volunteering, enrollment, religious participation, etc.).

Homeward Alliance gratefully accepts direct food and financial donations to help us fill gaps in need, but we are especially appreciative of for helping us meet the bulk of our food needs. We couldn’t do it without them!
