“RLACF has been an enormous resource to our organization from the start, and we are so grateful to be one of this year’s Community Grant recipients. Though we’re a new non-profit and off the beaten path here in Roscoe, we have felt seen and encouraged every step of the way by the RLACF staff. We’re excited to put the grant to good use as we continue our work of renovating the original Roscoe post office to become a thriving literary arts “The Roberts School would like to thank the Red Lodge Area Community Foundation for approving this project. This grant allows our K-12 students to experience a hands-on learning environment that will include gardening and nutrition education, giving students a place to explore and learn about the plant life cycle, soil health, food production, and much more. The garden program will serve as a unique space for students to explore and cultivate their knowledge of the natural environment and its connection to healthier food sources that can be accessed by local families in the community. We would like to thank the Red Lodge Carnegie Library, Carbon County Extension Office, Red Lodge Ace Hardware, The Roberts Community Foundation, and other locals for your support.“

adding air-conditioning and upgrading the old heaters, we will be able to offer more programming and host community events beyond our current summer season. Thank you for your invaluable support in helping us preserve and enhance this important cultural landmark.”
