Rimrock Trails receives $1,000 from Kiwanis of Prineville
PRINEVILLE, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Rimrock Trails Treatment Services is grateful to receive $1,000 to renovate their Prineville-based Adolescent Residential Treatment Program. This funding supports the work Rimrock Trails has underway, including the renovation of two client restrooms, shower and laundry spaces in their adolescent residential treatment program facility.
The project in its entirety is estimated to cost $50,000.
- “We are so thankful for the generosity, support, and continued partnership of the Kiwanis Club of Prineville. Their gift is a step toward a larger renovation project to update and beautify our 27-year old adolescent residential treatment program facilities. Their efforts and support of the youth in our community embody the spirit of what it means to really be the change one wishes to see in the world.” – Michelle Duff, Community Relations Manager, Rimrock Trails Treatment Services
At its beginning, the Rimrock Trails residential treatment program was housed in the Pioneer Memorial Hospital. In 1994, they acquired land on 9th Street in Prineville for the program’s dormitories, kitchen, dining, and living spaces. In 1998, additional facilities were built for the school, gymnasium, weight room, and business offices.
The campus infrastructure is made up of male and female dormitories, a kitchen, dining room, staff station, and a common area. The facilities also house two male and female spaces that include the client restrooms, showers, and laundry.
After 27 years with only small updates, the two spaces require renovation and repair.
