We are deeply grateful for Retova's continued support of Sand Creek Connections!

Formerly the Marcus Anderson Family Foundation, RETOVA is a North Idaho–based nonprofit rooted in hope, community, and the future. Their belief in community‑based therapeutic support makes them a vital partner in our mission to restore People (connection), Place (safe space), and Purpose (meaningful employment) for adults living with serious mental illness.

Thanks to RETOVA’s generosity, many of our members have a safe space, meaningful work, and real pathways back into community life—reconnecting with friends and family, returning to school or employment, and rebuilding their lives here at home.

Thank you, RETOVA, for believing in our work and helping us build a healthier, more hopeful North Idaho.

☀️ Soaking up the sunshine at Sand Creek Connections!

Our members are making the most of this beautiful weather — tending to our vegetable garden and adding some color up front. 🌱🌸 There's something truly special about growing together.

Kudos to Lake Pend Oreille School District counselors Amanda Heilman and Caleb Ringhand, and to Director Dr. Joy Jansen!

This team is truly working upstream for our youth in so many thoughtful, heartwarming ways. We are deeply grateful for the expert, hands‑on care you provide our kids, and we can’t wait to welcome you back this fall to hear how Summer 2026 unfolded.

🌟 A huge thank you to Silverwood Theme Park! 🌟

The Sand Creek Connections crew had an absolutely unforgettable evening at Silverwood’s annual Night of the Stars event! 🎢✨

Inclusive community events like Night of the Stars are incredibly vital—they break down barriers, foster true belonging, and give our community a chance to come together, have fun, and make lasting memories.

We are so grateful for Silverwood’s generosity and continuous commitment to supporting our community. Thank you for shining a light on all of us and giving us a night to remember! 💙
