Nothing is more powerful or contagious than hope. That’s the message North Range Behavioral Health is asking us to share throughout Weld County with “Signs of Hope.” North Range has provided a limited number of signs to us, to distribute in our circles and help spread the word.
The initiative, generously funded by a donation from Bank of Colorado in Greeley, is reminding people that a positive outlook not only helps individuals, it encourages those around them. There are still challenges ahead, but this is one way we can let our community to know that we’ll tackle them together.
Thank you again for your commitment and dedication to supporting our community in your own way. As we display these signs, let us also remember that hope begins with each one of us.
Would you like a yard sign?! Call or email Natalie at the Fort Lupton Chamber and we will see that a sign gets to you. 303-857-4474 or fortluptonchamber@gmail.com

Country Turck and Auto has partnered with O'Reilly and Thermo Fluids to give free oil changes for our front line workers. If you know of anyone working in the medical field, nursing homes, police or fire department. We want to assist and do a free oil change for them.
We sterilize all the vehicles upon arrival and then after the oil change, we re-sterilize the vehicle and keys and fobs.
Because we can not have waiters in our lobby, we will provide them a loaner or for local people, we can even do pick up and delivery at no charge.
