Our first Root & Thrive Bike/Walking Club was a success! 💚

The projected weather couldn’t get us down, and we ended up with a great evening to get outside, move our bodies, and spend some time together!

Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us, whether you biked, walked, or just came along for the fun. We loved seeing everyone!

We can’t wait to do it again next week! 🚲

Tonight!! Come bike, or walk with us!

Root & Thrive Bike Club is rolling into September!

Join us every Wednesday in September from 5:30–6:30 PM for an evening of biking, fresh air, movement, and time together! Bring a friend or come on your own, we’d love to have you!

A few important things to know before we get started:

Riders should provide their own bike. If you need help finding or getting access to a bike, please reach out to us! We can’t make any promises, but we will absolutely see what we can do to help.

Helmets are required for ALL riders.

A liability form will need to be signed at the first ride. Because of this:

* Riders under 18 must attend the first session with a parent or guardian.

* This also applies to riders 18 or older who are under the care of a legal guardian, their guardian will need to attend the first session as well to sign the liability waiver.

📍 We’ll meet at the Old Rocks Building, across from the Oasis.

We are so excited to get out, ride together, and have some fun this September. Hope to see everyone there!

Root & Thrive was proud to take part in the Growing Stronger Together Back to School Event, with Brooke and Laurel representing the organization and pouring a little extra love into Miles City youth. 💚

Each booth provided a school supply for students as they made their way through the event, and the Root & Thrive table added a little extra fun with co****le, plenty of candy, and lots of great conversation.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with local kids, families, and other community organizations all working toward the same goal: helping young people feel supported, included, and ready for a great school year.

A big thank you to Eastern Montana Community Mental Health Center and Intermountain Health for putting together such a fun and meaningful evening for local families. Root & Thrive was grateful to be a part of it! 🌱💚

So blessed we got to be a part of this!

36,094 meals served to kids in our community this summer!

To every volunteer who showed up, every hand that packed a bag, and every heart that gave freely of their time — thank you. You are the reason this program works. You turned a summer program into a testament of love for our children.

We are deeply grateful for each of you.
