CALENDAR
MOUNTAIN LIFEWORKS uses data to increase opportunities and improve outcomes for our most vulnerable and their caregivers. A balanced approach recognizes poverty and unemployment are not mental health or medical conditions. Different diagnosis require different exeprtise and treatments... there is no one size fits all solution.
People with disabilities are nearly 3X as likely to live in poverty, and earn median incomes 33% less than those without a disability. Disability benefits from government often do not provide enough to live independently or to live in assisted living facilities. By analyzing data we identify current barriers and target solutions to remove them.

YEAR-ROUND EFFORT
MOUNTAIN LIFEWORKS advocates for a balanced approach to complement one-size-fits-all charities and government systems. MOUNTAIN LIFEWORKS balances short-term charity relief with long-term philanthropic solutions. Both are necessary to relieve immediate suffering and target root causes and contributing factors at the same time.
This innovative model improves outcomes and reduces costs while enabling re-investment in community causes, along side traditional grant cycles and fundraising campaigns. This mobilizes the willing and compassionate and by-passes bureaucracies and politics with local public-private partnerships to make the greatest impact in their community.
Change is a process not an event... that means we need to keep the conversation going!
Join us for Coffee with a Cause and let's talk real local challenges and real local solutions.
