Loving our Neighbors since 1984.
THE ROOT CELLAR
Last year, our own Damon Crouse Skimo’d (hike up and ski down) 54 laps at Lost Valley over 24 hours and raised over $34,000 to support our amazing teens!
This year, our teens were so inspired that they have decided to join Damon on a quest to raise $45,000 to support a full year of teen jobs in Lewiston!

A recent pause in federal funding has been extremely challenging for many of the organizations and nonprofits that we collaborate with regularly. This has lead me to reflect and - quite literally - count our blessings.
I wanted to take a moment to make sure we communicate just how important each of you are to the work and ministry of The Root Cellar. God has seen fit show his provision and love for our neighbors through you.
