RANGELEY — Rangeley Health and Wellness has been offered a matching challenge grant of up to $15,000 from Arctaris Saddleback for the creation of Wellness Woods, a multigenerational outdoor space.
The goal for Rangeley Health and Wellness is to design a space that promotes a real sense of community and wellness for all ages. The space will be used not only for children’s programming, but also for senior program participants, nutrition education, fitness classes events and more.
“Rangeley Health and Wellness is one of the most dynamic and effective community service organizations in the state,” said Andy Shepard, general manager of Saddleback Mountain. “We are all fortunate to have this remarkable facility and Arctaris Saddleback is honored to help play a role in their plans for the new health promoting landscape design.”
The grant, if fully matched, will allow the organization to build the space, which in turn will allow expanded programs and services that better meet the needs of the community. Any donation designated towards the project will be matched and will double the impact in supporting programming.
