The Mission of Mujeres de Colores is to elevate the status of women and children through education and leadership. The vision of Mujeres de Colores is for all women of colors to realize their potential.
Mujeres de Colores, is excited to announce that the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority has committed $45,000 to The Hand That Feeds monument to be built at Sugar Beet Park in north Fort Collins. The DDA has recently pledged its support to help pay for the plaza the sculpture will occupy in the park.
The total cost of the monument and plaza is $300,000. A fundraising campaign is going on now and will continue until the project is completed. In addition to the DDA, kick starter donors include High Country Beverage, Might Arrow Foundation, New Belgium Brewery and The Latino Foundation. The goal is to complete the monument by September 2021 as part of the Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.
Mujeres de Colores has taken on a new project: The Hand That Feeds sculpture to be located in Sugar Beet Park in north Fort Collins. This sculpture/monument recognizes and commemorates the many Hispanic and Mexican families that came to the region to work the sugar beet fields, eventually settling in Fort Collins to become an integral part of the community.
