THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN TOBACCO FREE WELD COUNTY COALITION.

We have a vision of a Weld County free from the burdens of tobacco. The Tobacco Free Weld County Coalition has been in existence to carry out this vision for over 10 years. We are a group of community members on a mission.

Our mission is to empower the residents of Weld County to create a tobacco-free environment through education, prevention and a commitment to the health of the community.

Tobacco Free Weld County has been instrumental in a number of initiatives including:

• Helping create smokefree facilities at Island Grove Park.
• Helping to remove cigarette vending machines.
• Helping create Smokefree Greeley (November 2003).
• Helping to promote Smokefree Colorado (July 2006).
• Working to establish smokefree and tobacco free campuses at NCMC, Aims, UNC and other worksites (2007, 2008).
• Helping to create an ordinance to eliminate tobacco giveaways in all of Greeley (December 2007)
• And much, much more.
