Founder’s letter
It began as a simple afternoon at a fundraiser for an individual’s medical bills. As we enjoyed the food and company, we began to brainstorm on better ways to increase community involvement. Which turned into a conversation about a community calendar. Simple, right? So we set off in that direction – to create a community calendar. Along that journey we found so many wonderful groups in the area, all working at improving the community in isolation and sometimes, even repeating or competing with one another. And the idea grew. Why stop at a calendar? By providing a space where all those wonderful groups could become connected and support each other, a larger goal could be imagined. We could offer improved housing and better food choices for our friends and neighbors and, indeed, all of Iron County. What no one seemed to realize was that the pieces were already there. They had just been scattered and fragmented. We needed a place to bring them all together and use all of their strengths together to make Iron County truly great. Not only for themselves, but for their children and children’s children. So our focus is to work on local and sustainable food choices, clean and convenient water solutions, affordable and emergency housing, diversity in entertainment and cultural experiences, and to keep Iron County talent and resources here in Iron County.
We are creating a list of projects Mac’s Creek would like to accomplish and we encourage you to take a look. We have prioritized them by feasibility and will add more as the list gets accomplished. We are looking for any and all help we can get. We also have a volunteer submission form and we encourage you to fill this out and let us know what you’d like to do. It can’t be repeated enough that we are looking to build cooperation and teamwork and many hands make light work.
We live in an amazing part of the world. We know you know this. Please join us in making this a great place to live for future generations. It’s time to say we are MAKING things better. Together, we can make Iron County the best place it can be!
