South Central Council of Governments works with local entities in the Huerfano and Las Animas counties in numerous ways, including assisting with grant application to both state and local agencies and setting up community-need programs, such as meals for senior citizens, transit services, day care services, and housing rehabilitation.

Founded in 1975, South Central Council of Governments represents a collaboration between area government and agencies to enhance community services and increase available funding levels to raise local standards of living. Call our office to see what we can do for you.

Congregate meals are provided at 12:00 noon, Monday through Friday, at the H.R. Sayre Center at 1222 San Pedro Street and Corazon Square at 201 Raton Street in Trinidad, as well as at the Huerfano Community Center at 928 Russell Street in Walsenburg. In addition, meals are provided at satellite meal sites, on different days of the week, in Hoehne, Kim, Segundo and Aguilar. A suggested donation of $2.00 is requested for seniors registered in the program and a $4.00 Guest Fee is required for those below 60 years old and nonregistered participants. The proceeds are used to sustain and expand our meal service throughout our region.
