Educational Support for Local High School Students

Through donations and grant opportunities, we will be able to provide educational awards to those who want to expand their education while still in high school.

Supporting Food Distributions
Backcountry Communities Thriving is the lead for the Feeding San Diego bimonthly distribution at the Butterfield Ranch Community. When available, BCT also volunteers with the San Diego Food Bank at their local food distributions in Julian and Shelter Valley. Visit the Food Distribution page for locations and schedules.
Community Wellness
Health and wellness comes in many forms. Whether is it physical, mental or social wellness, BCT believes that a community's wellness is dependent upon the wellness of each and every resident. As a result, BCT aims to provide access to a variety of wellness options. Visit our Health & Wellness page for details.
