Last week, two of our student leaders at Utah Tech University (Matthew Goates & Curtis Bennet) completed their homeless kits projects. They assembled kits with items that those experiencing homelessness would need. These two worked with the local homeless shelter to research items needed in those kits. They gathered donations for a while, then assembled the kits.

They disseminated kits to Utah Tech students last week, encouraging them to keep the kit in the car, then give it to someone they come across. Well done, Matthew and Curtis!

On March 18, more than 70 community members gathered in Price, Utah for the “Mental Health in Coal Country & COMET Training,” an evening centered on strengthening connection and advancing mental health awareness in Carbon and Emery Counties.

We are especially proud of our Program Coordinator, Carisa Wood, who shared her expertise in mental health through a powerful and impactful presentation. Her thoughtful insights and ability to genuinely connect with attendees helped foster meaningful dialogue and left a lasting impression on all who participated.

This event was a strong reminder that real change begins with simple moments—checking in, listening, and asking, “How are you doing… really?”

Thank you to our partners and community members for showing up, engaging, and investing in the well-being of rural Utah.
