Tri-Lakes Cares
Tri-Lakes Cares is a community-based, volunteer-supported resource center whose purpose is to improve people’s lives through emergency, self-sufficiency and relief programs.
Tri-Lakes Cares: Neighbors Helping Neighbors
Serving northern El Paso County for more than 40 years, Tri-Lakes Cares provides food, housing, and medical assistance that restores stability and dignity for families in our community.
Our Mission in Action
We empower families and individuals to reach for a better tomorrow. Through our no-cost Market, emergency housing support, health connection services, and transportation assistance, we help neighbors move from crisis to stability with compassion and respect.
Why Your Gift Through ESF Matters
When you give through the Empty Stocking Fund, you join a community-wide effort to keep doors open, shelves full, and homes safe. Your support makes possible:
Free access to fresh produce, pantry staples, and household goods in our Market
Emergency rent, mortgage, and utility assistance so families stay secure in their homes
Medical and transportation help that covers prescriptions, co-pays, and essential travel
Year-Round Impact and Community Trust
Tri-Lakes Cares works every day to build a stronger, more resilient community. From back-to-school support and holiday programs to financial wellness classes and year-round aid, we meet people where they are and help them move forward.
“They never judge, but times change and I am so thankful they are here.” – TLC Neighbor
