SOUTHERN COLORADO — Governor Jared Polis made his rounds around southern Colorado Wednesday. He stopped by Safe Passage in Colorado Springs to mark National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Safe Passage helps about 700 kids every year.
The organization benefits from state funding, receiving more than $100,000 dollars per year.
"In many places in our state, people still need to go to 3 or 4 places to get all these services, so it is very convenient for people who are facing difficult circumstances to be able to get all the help they can get in one place."
Governor Jared Polis
The governor also made stops at the following on Wednesday:
- CSU Pueblo
- AmeriCorps
- The Space Symposium
