We are grateful for their generosity and support of Friends of Country Living and the Sunny Valley community. If your organization would like to get involved let us know!

- Improving - Livable communities encourage personal independence; allow residents to remain in their homes and communities as they age; and provide opportunities for residents of all ages, ability levels, and backgrounds to engage fully in civic, economic, and social life.
- Protecting - The Grave Creek Watershed is the lifeblood of the residents and wildlife of this valley as well as an important tributary of the Wild & Scenic Rogue River. Friends of Country Living will continue to work with fellow advocates to protect this critical resource.
- Preserving & Sustaining - Every rural community has a unique character. From its strategic location along the mid-nineteenth century Applegate Trail, to the iconic 100-year-old Grave Creek Covered Bridge and historic Radio Park building, Sunny Valley, Oregon has a rich historical character!
