Board Members
Tori (Victoria) Lightcap
Founder & President
I am a proud Southern Colorado resident, wife, mother of two, and passionate community advocate. Helping others has always been a core part of who I am. Growing up, my family experienced times when we needed support from our community, and those experiences taught me the importance of compassion, kindness, and lending a hand to those facing difficult circumstances.
Throughout my life, I have been committed to giving back whenever possible. One of my family's favorite traditions is shopping for Angel Tree children each year on Black Friday, teaching my children the value of generosity and helping others. Through volunteer work, community involvement, and personal experiences, I have seen firsthand the growing need for assistance within our community and the difference that even small acts of kindness can make.
I founded SoCo Giving Hearts with the belief that no one should have to face hardship alone. My goal is to help connect individuals and families with essential resources, reduce barriers to support, and create a stronger community where neighbors help neighbors. It is an honor to serve Southern Colorado and work alongside others who share a passion for making a positive impact in the lives of those around us. ❤️

Erin Orcutt
Secretary
I am a lifelong Pueblo resident, proud mother of three, and a dedicated community health worker who is deeply passionate about serving the community that helped shape me.
My background includes community health, case management, advocacy, and public service, all rooted in a genuine desire to help others. Through my work, I have developed and managed initiatives that address food insecurity and other social determinants of health, helping connect individuals and families to the resources and support they need to thrive.
I believe that everyone deserves access to basic needs, opportunities, and support, and I am committed to making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve. It is an honor to give back to the Pueblo community, and I am proud to be part of the work that strengthens and uplifts our neighbors every day!
I am proud to call Pueblo, Colorado home, where I have been married to my husband for 21 years and am blessed to be the mother of three amazing children and grandmother to one wonderful grandchild. Caring for others has been a central part of both my personal and professional life. I have worked as a respiratory therapist since 2009 and previously served my community as a 911 dispatcher for 10 years, experiences that strengthened my compassion and commitment to helping others during some of life’s most difficult moments.
Being of service gives me a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment. It keeps me focused, grounded, and driven to make a meaningful difference wherever I can. I am honored to serve as a board member and to support a mission that helps strengthen and uplift our community.
