Elmore Community Trust (ECT)

Who We Are:

The Elmore Community Trust is a 501-c3 non-profit organization with a mission to care for places that make Elmore special, and to support local businesses, organizations and people that contribute positively to our vibrant rural community. The first project presented to us was the purchase and preservation of the historic Elmore Store. We successfully achieved our first phase goal of fundraising to buy the building and find operators to lease the store to. The second phase is restoration and preservation of the building so that it can continue to provide for the community for decades to come. This ride not only acts as a wonderful community building event, but also allows us to broaden our exposure and help raise funds for the project. All proceeds or donations from this event go directly towards the preservation efforts of the building. For more information about our organization go to http://www.elmorecommunitytrust.org and follow us on Instagram.
