Our Tillotson Grant
Granite Guild was excited and honored to have received a Tillotson Foundation Large Grant towards getting our renovations started. The $26,000 Grant has allowed us to install the initial work for our future heat pump and mini-splits, all new electrical, insulation, sheetrock, and other materials and labor. Our Coos Catalyst Center will have our Food Pantry, Intake area, Office, Conference Room and new Bathroom ready to open to the public this Summer 2025. We are very grateful for having received this funding to get this half of the building done so we can begin offereing services to the local communities throughout Coos County.

April 2024 Easter Egg Hunt
Granite Guild kicked off it first Easter Egg Hunt in April. Despite the grey skies and chilling temps, the rain held off long enough for a gaggle of happy kids scurrying across the field by the Groveton Covered Bridge and Train. The field was scattered full of plastic eggs containing toys and candy. The kids lucky enough to find the Golden Eggs were treated to their choice of cuddly stuffed animals. It’s one of our Family fun events we will continue to repeat.
