Livingston Depot Foundation

Home to a seasonal museum from May - September and serving as an incredible community and event center throughout the remainder of the year. Complete with an elegant courtyard, shaded park, and local shops, the Livingston Depot Center is rich with historic detail, beauty, and grace.

St.Mary's Catholic School
Faith for Living, Education for Life, “St. Mary's Catholic School has been educating the youth of Livingston and the surrounding area for over a century. They provide quality Catholic education for K-8 and an Early Learning Pre-K Preschool.
Friends of Park High Baseball
Funding a quality and successful baseball program for the many youth that love baseball! “Many youth in Livingston and Park County play baseball, and we want to keep them playing through high school.”
Stafford Animal Shelter
A Livingston icon and no-kill shelter, The Stafford Animal Shelter prevents animal distress by caring for displaced animals, facilitating adoptions and reunions, minimizing pet overpopulation and pioneering humane education & community outreach. They are an open-door facility that accepts all pets in need regardless of age, species, breed or medical condition. We have no length of stay restrictions so animals are welcome with us until they find their forever homes.
Big Brothers Big Sisters
Bigs (members of the community 18+) & Littles (youth ages 5-18) are matched based on personality and interests and then spend 4-6 hours per month together enjoying activities together in the community. What Bigs & Littles do together is completely up to them and often are activities they are both interested in or want to try together. One to one mentorship has proven to change the life of local youth (and provides amazing benefits to the “Big” as well).
Counterpoint
Another Livingston success story- Counterpoint nurtures personal growth and supports meaningful lives for adults with disabilities since 1976. They provide residential, vocation, and transportation services to the individuals that we serve.
