How many times has Community Service Grant funding been awarded to your organization and how many times for this specific project? Eagle County has graciously awarded The Samaritan Center of the Rockies in 2009 -2010 for this same proiect. As we continue to see an increased number of clients each vear with a decreased ability to pay the full rate. we are seeking funds once again from Eagle County. Without these funds, we would have difficulty caring for the needs of our county residents.
