PUEBLO — A non-profit in Pueblo is showcasing the work it has done for Colorado. Senator John Hickenlooper visited Servicios de la Raza in Pueblo Tuesday.
Senator Hickenlooper helped secure $2 million in federal money to help the group buy buildings in Denver to further their mission. Servicios de la Raza helps close the healthcare gaps for the Latino and other underserved communities in Colorado.
"So, these brick and mortar buildings allow us to be able to provide in person services and especially our Pueblo office that allows us to have more access for our southern Colorado region, so not only serving Pueblo and Pueblo County, but our surrounding area," said Dr. Velia Rincon with Servicios de la Raza.
Senator Hickenlooper also held a town hall at the downtown library to find out what issues people would like him to tackle in our nation's capital.
