Fall 2025 Newsletter

A rectangular heading image. A light purple into white gradient goes from top to bottom. A darker purple band is about two thirds of the way down. A large MRC logo extends above and below the band on the left, and to the right of it cursive text says Newsletter, followed by print text saying Fall, 2025. Above the band Mountain Resource Center is written in a print front.

🍂 Fall Greetings from Mountain Resource Center! 🍂

As we move into the Holiday Season— even as we share our newsletter for Fall Quarter — we’re reflecting on how our mountain community continues to show up for one another with warmth, resilience, and generosity. This season reminds us how deeply connected we are, and how much we can accomplish together. 

We are also proud to share that our audit from last fiscal year confirmed that 87 cents of every dollar raised by MRC goes directly to programs, reinforcing our commitment to strong stewardship and community impact. 

Thank you for being part of the MRC family — your support helps our neighbors thrive all year long.
