Our Projects

Here’s a sampling of our community efforts.

Babb Head Start

Our local Head Start is foundational to our community. We added gravel to the parking lot in partnership with the Milk River Project and local contractor and restaurateur Bob Burns.

Tree Planting

The BABB Foundation applied for and received a $350 grant from the Montana DNRC to plant Weeping Birch trees at our local Head Start and Elementary School to celebrate Arbor Day. The grant and matching funds from BABB also provided for snacks and refreshments. Each student received a Colorado Blue Spruce sapling and tomato start to plant at home. We were very fortunate to host Kari Lewis of the MSU Glacier County Extension office and appreciated her expertise and instruction on caring for our newly planted trees.

Babb Elementary Playground & Walking Path

We are working to raise funding to support a walking path and gathering space at our local elementary school in conjunction with the Browning Public School District #9’s plan to replace our aging playground.

Our efforts have already secured an additional swingset (with a toddler sized extra swing for the littles) and we hope to secure additional funding through grants and fundraising this spring.

Babb/St. Mary Volunteer Fire Department

One of our short and long term goals is to support our local fire department by providing funding for resources, training, and much need equipment to better face the increased danger of wildfire and structure fires in our remote area.
