About OUR Center

Founded in 1986 and designed to unite community resources in support of those in need, Outreach United Resource Center, Inc. (OUR Center) works to create a welcoming, supportive and inclusive place for St Vrain Valley residents to seek an array of services to regain or begin their road to self-sufficiency.

Located in a modern 30,000 square foot facility and an off-site child-development center, OUR Center’s 43-person staff and 1,000+ volunteer force serves over 100,000 hot meals and distributes over 1,000,000 pounds of groceries to nearly 20,000 households annually. OUR Center resource navigators support participants in accessing utility shut-off prevention services, rent vouchers, emergency shelter and self-sufficiency case management services. The OUR Center’s Colorado Level 5-rated Aspen Center for Child Development provides day care and school readiness programs to children and their families in and around the Longmont community.

The OUR Center is a Family Resource Center (FRC). FRCs partner with individuals and the entire family to help them become more self-reliant in key areas that affect family stability including parenting, health, education, employment, housing and financial management. This initiative intends to have a long-term and sustained impact on the enhanced capacity of individuals and parents to provide for themselves and their children’s needs, and for communities to serve people in need.

The director is also responsible for ensuring that policies and procedures follow applicable regulations and good business practices.
