Spectrum awards $10,000 grant to Grand Junction organization

Spectrum donated $10,000 to Mutual Aid Partners in Grand Junction as part of a national community philanthropic program.

“Through Spectrum Employee Community Grants, we’re proud to provide support to vital community organizations with which our local employees are already volunteering their time and talent,” said Rahman Khan, vice president of community impact for Charter Communications. “Together, we’re building stronger communities where our customers and employees live and work across America.” 

The nonprofit Mutual Aid Partners supports and connects grassroots organizations in Western Colorado by collaborating on fund-raising, facilitating communication and education and sharing resources and volunteers. The $10,000 grant will go towards food supplies, storage and transportation, enabling Mutual Aid Partners to address increased food insecurity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“On a higher level, Mutual Aid proves the concept that we are stronger together and that helping our neighbors is an essential part of nurturing a positive human experience,” said Stephanie Vasoncez, executive director of Mutual Aid Partners. “We are grateful to Spectrum for supporting our cause and allowing us to continue meeting the evolving needs of our community in real time.”

 Spectrum Employee Community Grants are one of several philanthropic programs at Charter Communications — which operates the Spectrum brand — to support communities where the company provides services and its employees live and work.
