“Rotary District Matching Grant - Dolly Parton Imagination Library: Longmont Rotary has been a supporter of the Born to Read program since its inception 33 years ago. We heard from parents involved in this program that there was a larger need for books beyond birth. A partnership between Longmont Rotary, Born to Read, and the Longmont Community Foundation was formed to champion the Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) in Longmont to address the need. This leverages the strength of DPIL existing systems and processes with the local support needed to provide free books to all children from birth to age 5 who have Longmont mailing addresses. This grant will help establish the Dolly Parton Imagination Library project in Longmont. Funding of $6,000 will support the cost of books and postage at $1.30/child/month, totaling 4,615 months, or 385 children for a full year. Hearing the Call: Hearing the Call Colorado (a Project of Hearing the Call, Inc.) provides access to hearing healthcare for low income, uninsured, and underinsured residents of Colorado through the volunteer service of professional audiologists across Colorado. Each audiology practice designates specific dates to open their clinic to provide hearing screenings and assessments for these low-income patients. Those who fail the hearing screens are referred for follow up care with the audiologist. Services are provided on a sliding fee scale based on household income to make them affordable and accessible for the patient. This grant will be used for services provided by Longmont Hearing & Tinnitus Center for patients who are residents of Longmont and the Vrain Valley. Hover Senior Living Community: Hover Senior Living Community has been a trusted resource in Longmont for more than 45 years, providing skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care in a warm, relationship-centered environment. We thrive to ensure that every older adult we serve feels safe, respected, and supported throughout their care journey. Current reclining chairs in the skilled nursing and rehabilitation area are old and are made of cloth materials. They have become difficult to sanitize, absorb moisture, and no longer support the infection-control standards required in healthcare settings. Residents entering Hover for short-term rehab often spend significant time in their recliners for therapy preparation, meals, rest, and social engagement. Replacing these chairs with durable, waterproof, medical-grade reclining chairs will significantly improve resident comfort, safety, and hygiene, while also reducing staff strain and cleaning costs.”
