Special Opportunities to Share
Thank you for sharing your time, talent, or treasure with our community.
CHEERS to Sober Drivers!

CHEERS to Sober Drivers! is a community initiative that distributes $10 gift cards to local bars and restaurants. Bartenders use their discretion to award these gift cards to designated sober drivers who ensure the safe return of patrons who have been drinking. The cards are intended to cover the cost of gas, rewarding responsible behavior and promoting safer roads. The CHEERS to Sober Drivers! program is a partnership between the Anaconda Deer Lodge County DUI Task Force, ACI, Inc, Anaconda - Deer Lodge County Public Health Department, Southwest Montana Prevention, and Anaconda Community Foundation.Donate to ACF: Gifts, Memorials, Sharing

Anaconda Backpack Program
Your donation can change lives. Low wages, job loss, and insufficient fixed incomes leave many families unable to keep food on the table while trying to afford the rising costs of housing, child care, and medical care. Limited access to food also contributes to hunger and food insecurity in Montana. Join us in supporting the Anaconda Backpack program
