2022-23 PROJECTS

Members of ASTRA helped the Montrose Regional Library with their pizza harvest at Botanic Gardens. Kids of all ages were able to make their own pizza while listening to a book.

ASTRA members came together and made DIY cut and tie blankets for kids in need. They had a blast while doing so and did something good for the community.

ASTRA members volunteered serving at the Pioneer Dinner sponsored by Alpine Bank. They served the guests and helped with anything that was requested.

ASTRA members created a scarecrow and donated it to the Botanic Gardens to sell as a fundraiser to support the Botanic Gardens. This year's them was surfer.

Make a difference day was sponsored by ALTRUSA and was a day dedicated to youth literacy. Members were able to partake in reading to young kids and helping out at this event.

MHS hosted a trunk or treat where many clubs came together and let lttle kids collect candy the weekend of Halloween. ASTRA was able to participate in this event and made many kids happy.

One of ASTRA's annual fundraisers. ASTRA members come together in December to make holiday wreaths. They are then sold and all of the money goes to support families.

Two ASTRA members delivered the blankets that were made at the blanket making event along with toys that were donated. The Dolphin House was very grateful.

One of ASTRA's main service projects is literacy. Throughout the year we collect books to donate to our little libraries around town. These little libraries make reading more accesible to the youth in our community.

One of our members directed a canned food drive and it turned out to be very successful. We collected canned food items at the High School games that went towards restocking Sharing Ministries after the holidays.

During the winter season, ASTRA held a coat drive where we collected warm clothing items. We then donated them to Shepherd's Hand to give out to the people in need in our community. 

ASTRA members went to Amazing Glaze and spent the day painitng ceramic mugs to gift to the custodians at MHS.

Every year ASTRA gets to be able to volunteer at Altrusa's annual luncheon. Members help in the kitchen with serving food and clean-up.
