ABOUT LAKE COUNTY BUILD A GENERATION:
Lake County Build a Generation (LCBAG) is a nonprofit organization located in Leadville, Colorado,

County residents make about 25% less than the national average, we pay 18% more for food.

what does not work in our community and identifying/building on what does. By engaging a
diverse group of Lake County residents in community change, we will ensure that a healthy
