Inspiring Positive Change
Empowering Our Local Community
The Upward Spiral Collective supports the mental health of our local mountain community through initiatves like our weekly free Art Lab for locals. We connect folks with resources, promote community growth and development, and offer a soft place to land for people who are struggling with the common challenges of mountain life.
EMPOWERMENT THROUGH CONNECTION
Our Vision
The Upward Spiral Collective is more than a platform; it embodies a vision for positive growth. Our mission is to strengthen community ties and promote collaborative initiatives such as Art Lab, that empower individuals to improve their mental health and reduce the rate of suicide in our community. By fostering meaningful interactions and encouraging individual expression, we work to uplift and support locals who have traditionally been under resourced.
OUR COMMUNITY OFFERINGS
The Govy Cupboard
Our Home Grown and Local Operated Food Bank
The Govy Cupboard sprung up out of a need to provide food for the community when the government shut down of 2025 froze many people's SNAP benefits. Life on the mountain is difficult as is, with many mountain employees living in their vehicles because of inadequate affordable housing. There is also only one small grocery store in town, with groceries at elevation inflation prices. The SNAP freeze came at a particularly difficult time of year for our community, during the shoulder season where a lack of snow and tourism meant significant cuts in hours available for shifts, leaving folks with barely enough money to get by as is. So our locals rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
