We’re expecting… the Baby Item Room to make its big return! 💚
Our amazing volunteers have kept things going with a mobile version each month, but soon this much loved space will be back and better than ever.
As we nest and prepare, we’re looking for toddler hangers (10-12")! If you have a few to spare, please bring them by Room One. Every little bit helps!

A strong community cares for its people. In the Methow Valley, we depend on Aero Methow Rescue Service, Jamie’s Place, Methow at Home, Methow Pride, the Methow Housing Trust, and Room One to care for the injured, tend to the elders, cultivate inclusivity, and provide support to those who need it. To learn more about these organizations and so many other vital Methow Valley nonprofits, visit www.givemethow.org

Did you know? Our Okanogan Healthy Youth team equips young people with the knowledge, skills, and leadership opportunities to shape their own stories. When young people learn early that their voices matter, they are empowered to make healthier relationship choices. They’re building futures where violence and control have less room to take root.

$5,000 – The Cove Food Bank
$3,000 – Methow Valley School District Music Program
$5,000 – Liberty Bell High School Booster Program
$1,000 – Room One
$1,000 – Tommy Zbyszewski Methow Valley Education Foundation Scholarship

“The Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival is more than just a music celebration,” notes Festival Director Erika Olsen. “It’s a gathering rooted in community, culture, and connection. Through the generosity of our attendees, volunteers, and sponsors, we are honored to give back to the Methow Valley and beyond, helping sustain a vibrant cultural and economic ecosystem.”

Since 2005, the Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival has donated more than $130,000 to community organizations ranging from the food bank and social service providers to school music programs. The 2025 giving continues that tradition of supporting nonprofits that strengthen the Methow Valley and the broader region.

At what point does unwanted attention become something more sinister? When does "maybe they just really like you" become stalking? Learn the difference and how to help at next week's Stalking Awareness & Bystander Intervention workshop.

Particularly for young women and members of the Q***r community, stalking is a life-altering and often under-reported crime. This free workshop brings the issue into focus for our rural community and provides tools for prevention.

If you are a small business owner, community leader, or just want to help foster a safer and more resilient Methow Valley, this training is for you! Sign up here: https://m.bpt.me/event/6715027
