Grow With Us!

We’re Mountain Valley, unleashing the potential of extraordinary individuals. Grow With Us! and maintain our solid infrastructure as we continue the programs and services for the intellectually and developmentally disabled participants and families we’ve served for over 50 years.

Mountain Valley Greenhouse

Mountain Valley Developmental Services, after 50 years serving young children and adults in the intellectually and developmentally disabled community, is looking forward to its spring growing and sales season in its Greenhouse.

The “Grow With Us!” campaign kicks off May 1st with a $15,000 fundraiser to attend to General Maintenance and equipment in the Mountain Valley Greenhouse growing areas. As the business grows, and temperatures soar, the Greenhouse wish list includes new sunscreens and cooling walls, irrigation and sprinkler systems, and topsoil for the new raised beds and trail mix for the disabled accessible pathways around our new raised beds. Your support enables participants and staff to work in a fully operational and comfortable space.

Mountain Valley Residential Services

Throughout the summer and into the fall, we will be working to shore up the infrastructure of our Residential Services buildings. The “Grow With Us!” capital campaign for these infrastructure projects is $150,000, which includes $100,000 for new windows in two residential group homes.

Residential Services offers individuals 18 years and older a variety of living environments and training in areas that promote independence and self-sufficiency throughout their lives. Options range from supported living in apartments or with family to full personal care in group homes with 24/7 staffing. Of the many homes throughout Garfield and Eagle County where our residents live, we own 10 group homes and 3 apartments plus our main office, Day Center and Greenhouse in Glenwood Springs, the Weaving Studio retail building, and the Day Center sites in Silt and Minturn. We have abundant resources that are in constant need of General Maintenance such as: major appliances, flooring, roofing, windows, and painting. Nothing overtly exciting but very important to the health and wellbeing of our residents and staff. Your support helps provide a functional, energy efficient and happy space for our residents.

Mountain Valley Weavers

This fall and winter, we’re focusing on much-needed improvements to the Weaving Studio located in the upstairs loft at 209 8th Street in Glenwood Springs. Since 1996, the Mountain Valley Weavers have woven more than textiles — they’ve woven community, confidence, and connection. As part of our “Grow With Us!” capital campaign, we are seeking to raise $15,000 to support internal and external building updates, as well as support general operating costs. For 40 years the Weaving Studio has served as a welcoming retail space and gift shop, offering not only beautifully handcrafted items but also the rewarding experience of knowing each purchase supports a meaningful cause that empowers Mountain Valley participants to master the art of weaving and produce a vibrant array of hand-crafted goods. Their work is not only a testament to creativity and skill but also to independence and dignity. Your support ensures that this space continues to inspire and uplift.
