Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life Recap

On February 19, we gathered at The Community Market (TCM) Gypsum to offer a glimpse into life at Eagle Valley Community Foundation (EVCF). Our annual A Day in the Life tour provided community members with the opportunity to learn more about the needs within our community and how EVCF programs are working to meet those needs. This insightful educational opportunity reached 28 community members across Eagle County, giving them the opportunity to engage with our EVCF programs firsthand. Attendees also learned how to get involved through volunteer opportunities and the direct impact they can have on their neighbors in need.

EVCF Program Staff Leads from The Community Market (TCM), MIRA, and Elevar gave an update on their specific programs, including their successes, challenges, and needs. Attendees also heard from a TCM volunteer and Elevar Steering Committee member, who shared how their experience working with EVCF has not only impacted them personally but also the community at large.
