PUEBLO COUNTY — A group is being honored for helping kids in Pueblo County. The Boys and Girls Club of Pueblo County earned the title of Public Health Champion.
This is awarded by the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment. The group earned the award by having programs and role models who provide a safe environment for kids.
"Now that I have been doing Boys and Girls Club for so long, and some of our other staff... now have adults... saying 'Thank you for this,'... or, 'I remember how we went here'... and so that is very humbling," said Angela Giron with the Boys and Girls Club of Pueblo County.
The Boys and Girls Club of Pueblo County says on average, they have served about 2,000 kids per year over the last three years.
