The City of Mountain Home Parks & Recreation Department is incredibly grateful to announce a generous $1,000 donation to the Ready, Set, Play Financial Assistance Fund from former City Councilman Daniel Brennan and his wife, Brittny.

This contribution will help provide swim lesson scholarships for children in our community who may not otherwise be able to afford lessons. Learning to swim is more than just a fun summer activity—it's a life-saving skill that builds confidence, promotes healthy lifestyles, and creates opportunities for a lifetime of recreation.

Thanks to the generosity of community members like Daniel and Brittny, more local children will have the chance to learn, grow, and play while gaining an essential water safety skill.

Interested in helping more kids participate in Parks & Recreation programs? Donations to the Ready, Set, Play Financial Assistance Fund help remove financial barriers and ensure every child has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of recreation.

Together, we're helping every child have the chance to learn, grow, and play.

Happy National Donut Day, Mountain Home!

We know there are plenty of important things happening in our community, but today we're taking a moment to recognize something equally important...

Donuts.

Whether you're starting your morning with coffee and a donut or treating yourself later in the day, we hope your Friday is filled with a little extra sweetness.
