Rimrock Trails Receives $45,000 Roundhouse Foundation Grant

Rimrock Trails Treatment Services is honored to have received the first installment of $15,000 from a three-year, $45,000 grant from the Roundhouse Foundation. This funding supports the Rimrock Trails Client Financial Support Fund, which helps reduce financial barriers to behavioral health care for individuals and families across Central Oregon.

For 35 years, Rimrock Trails has provided comprehensive, evidence-based mental health and substance use treatment through our outpatient clinics in Bend, Redmond, and Prineville, as well as our Adolescent Residential Treatment Program. In the past year, more than 19,200 behavioral health services were delivered, reflecting our ongoing commitment to providing timely access to compassionate and effective behavioral health care.

Thank you to all connected with the Roundhouse Foundation!

"Sometimes all someone needs is for another person to simply be kind. So that is my goal every day: to be kind and make someone smile. Life’s too short, not too. Stay warm, stay creative, and enjoy this beautiful season!"

Crook County Library Partnership Brings Big Smiles for Young Residents

Brenda Ford, Community Outreach Specialist for the Crook County Library, has been volunteering with the teens in our Adolescent Residential Treatment Program for several months, bringing creativity, laughter, and connection to our youth. From painting and crafts to silly games and seasonal projects, each visit has been a highlight for everyone involved, with even more fun on the way thanks to generous craft item donations from caring community members.

What Brenda values most is getting to know the youth and staff at Rimrock Trails. Having once been a child in need herself, this work is deeply meaningful to her. She knows firsthand how much it matters when someone shows up with kindness and encouragement, and she's grateful to be that person for others.

We at Rimrock Trails extend our sincere thanks to our sponsors and supporters, generous in-kind donors, attendees, and dedicated volunteers who made the Bowties & Boots fundraising event possible. Your generosity, time, and enthusiasm truly made a difference, and we are deeply grateful for your continued support of Rimrock Trails.
