Sponsored Projects
One Town at a Time is a local non-profit to Wrightwood, California with the mission to promote the health, environment, welfare and happiness of the people in the community. One Town aims to tackle big problems at a local level and show the example that a community can be self-reliant and proactive in solving these problems. One Town has operated in the Wrightwood community for almost 15 years, and throughout that time, we have supported many programs that are valued by our community.
Examples of some One Town sponsored programs include:
The Walking School Bus – One Town sponsors a program at Wrightwood Elementary where students walk to school to promote healthy habits and offset carbon emissions and earn money for a scholarship they receive at their 5th grade graduation.
Wrightwood Community Garden – A local project where we provide memberships for 46 garden beds and free water for gardeners to grow their own produce. The garden memberships are always full, and we maintain a waitlist each year, which demonstrates the community interest in growing healthy food.
Wrightwood Student Season Pass Program – In partnership with Mountain High, we support a season pass program for free and discounted passes to the ski resort that are available to children K-8th grade who reside in Wrightwood. The purpose is to promote health and wellness by encouraging children to be outside and participate in physical activities.
Wrightwood Student Enrichment Programs – Various programs are sponsored at Wrightwood Elementary School to enhance student experience and prepare students for achievement at the higher education level. Sponsorships include teacher enrichment grants, student enrichment field trips, student resource programs and STEM program support.
Assistance To Those In Need – One Town offers financial support to community members in need. If a need arises for local families who need financial support due to hardships, illness, etc., One Town often provides gifts to families to help in times of need.
Flower Town Project – One Town sponsors planter boxes and plants throughout the community, with the goal of beautifying the community.
Bridge Fire Recovery Efforts – One Town has been working on an effort to recover from the Bridge Fire. We have been funding a local effort to remove dead trees, clean the burn areas, mitigate fuels, and replanting trees. We are seeking partnership for this effort to get the maximum amount done in this community. We are also trying to help return insurance availability to our community, provide a secure means for evacuation (which happens here frequently) for those that may be without options, and further facilities-based means of protecting this community
