RVR4Good is a loosely associated group of your neighbors.  We are focused on opportunities for RVR residents to support local charities, meet local needs and better connect RVR with the Carbondale and broader RFV communities. If you are interested in knowing more, please send an email to RVR4Good@gmail.com and ask to be added to the email list. Or just come to one of the monthly meetings at the Ranch House. 

RVR4Good – Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones is a Carbondale non-profit that cultivates strong mentoring relationships and community spaces for youth, ages 10-24. This leads to fostering personal growth, compassion and responsibility. With mentoring at the center of their program, they offer wraparound services to meet youth and families’ needs. All services are free. The staff works closely with Carbondale, Glenwood and Basalt schools.

Stepping Stones provides dinner five days a week for the youth, who often help with meal planning and cooking. Eating together offers opportunities for discussion and interacting with each other

On Monday, Feb. 3, six people, who are part of the newly formed group RVR4Good, prepared and delivered to Stepping Stones a simple meal for 25 people. These RVR residents had a tour of the facilities and learned so much about Stepping Stones.

It was such a rewarding experience that we’ve committed to supplying dinner the first Monday of each month. The meal can be home cooked, carryout, or City Market/restaurant gift cards.

This is a great project for individuals, friends, book clubs, knitting groups, and other groups within RVR.

We are currently looking for a group to supply an evening meal in March. The April date is covered by the Naughty Knitters!

If you would like to sign up for an upcoming month or learn more about this outreach, please contact Anne Blackwell, anneblackwell635@gmail.com or Sarah Murr sarahmurr100@gmail.com

Say hello to Sarah! Sarah is the new Ranch House Member Services Supervisor. We are grateful to have her assisting with Ali and Rachel’s maternity leaves, and a variety of Ranch House needs into the future. A true Colorado native, Sarah grew up on the Front Range and has been loving life in the Roaring Fork Valley for the past 4 years. With a rich background in hospitality, she played a key role in opening the Hoffmann Hotel in Basalt as the Guest Services Manager and is now bringing her warmth, passion, and charm to the RVR community. When she’s not making others feel right at home, you’ll find her exploring the trails, splashing around in the Crystal River, tending to her garden, or spending quality time with her three crazy pups. Sarah is all about enjoying the great outdoors, good company, and creating unforgettable experiences for everyone she meets. Please give Sarah a warm welcome next time you see her!
