Community Resources

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy, and practicing social distancing. As Democrats, we understand the hardships this crisis is imposing on our community’s most vulnerable citizens and been trying to come up with ways we can support our communities during this difficult time. We have posted the content below on our website and will continue to update that page as we learn about more community resources available. This is by no means a complete list…If you know of any other resources we can share, please send an email to the ECD Secretary at calendar@eagledems.org

People who have general questions about COVID-19 can call CO HELP at 303-389-1687 or 1-877-462-2911, for answers in many languages, or email them at COHELP@RMPDC.org for answers in English.

If you or a member of your household are experiencing symptoms…

With community-level transmission of COVID-19 now confirmed in Eagle County, testing is not necessary or recommended for all patients and is being reserved for the most critical cases. It is important, however, that the spread of COVID-19 be tracked to align response resources in Eagle County and evaluate the strategies in place to decrease the spread of illness. Eagle County officials are asking people to fill out this online form for EACH person showing symptoms.

In Addition:

Please consider donating or volunteering to support these organizations – for instance the Give Eagle It’s Wings Bank – COVID-19 Employee Fund

Small Businesses

Small businesses will be significantly impacted by the forced closures. You can do your part to help them survive by not cancelling your memberships, and subscriptions and purchasing gift cards for later use if you are able. Consider donating the price of any tickets to canceled theatre performances or non-profit events instead of requesting a refund. Look for local businesses who offer online ordering, like Bookworm of Edwards, which offers books online ordering with $1 media mail delivery and ebooks. Many restaurants are offering takeout and curbside delivery. If you are a landlord, consider assisting your tenants with or deferring payments on their rent.
