Our Mission
The Mountain Memories Association was established 54 years ago with a singular mission: to actively support the well-being and prosperity of the Mountain Communities. Each year, our primary fundraising event, Fiesta Days, serves as the cornerstone of our efforts.
We extend an open invitation to any group or organization seeking financial support for projects aimed at enhancing the health and welfare of the Mountain Communities. You are welcome to present your cause before our Board during one of our monthly meetings. For inquiries or additional details about our meetings, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at (661) 623-2340.
In 2009, we initiated the Mountain Memories Grant program to streamline the process of securing funding for community groups. Since the inception of our grant program, Mountain Memories has proudly allocated over $8,000 in grants to local groups and organizations dedicated to elevating the well-being and health of our cherished Mountain Communities.
