About THe Save-A-Life Jacket Program

Our Mission

At Save-A-Life Jacket Program, our mission is to promote safety and adventure education by providing loaner life jackets at frequently floated sections of the Colorado River, near Grand Junction. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to lead an active and healthy lifestyle, and we are committed to making that a reality for our community.

Our Kiosks

There are eight kiosks from Palisade to Fruita along the Colorado River at all of the designated boat launches, which are stocked with life jackets of varying sizes from roughly April-September to help ensure people recreating on the "town float" have the appropriate safety equipment.
