About Thrive Chelan Valley Thrive Chelan Valley is a non-profit organization that serves, empowers, and advocates for Lake Chelan Valley youth. We provide direct services and empower the community to remove barriers and help all youth have everything they need to reach their full potential. Our programs include Thrive Cares, Thrive Mentoring, and Thrive Teen Center. Visit our website at http://thrivechelanvalley.com to learn more. More about our Thrive Teen Center The Thrive Teen Center represents a long-term partnership with the City of Chelan, where Thrive provides a safe and relaxing environment for teens in the greater Chelan valley to have a warm meal, socialize, listen to music, play games, and more! Enjoy a variety of games, including two pool tables, a Foosball table and an air hockey table, as well as cards, puzzles and many board games. It isn’t uncommon to find a movie playing on the TV, either! The Thrive Teen Center is currently open on Friday and Saturday evenings from 6-10pm, and is located at the Lake Chelan United Methodist Church. We are always in need of folks to provide warm and delicious meals that can nourish and nurture our Teen Center youth. If you're interested in that option, please click on the calendar below for more information. We accept both monetary donations to purchase meals as well as folks who are interested in preparing and/or delivering meals to our Teen Center on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you're interested in donating funds to support meals, please call or text us at 509-934-2211. Thank you for your consideration and support of our Thrive Teen Center as we continue to build relationships with youth that remove barriers and help young people reach their fullest potential.

We have youth with all kinds of nutrition needs and backgrounds that attend our Teen Center. If you have questions about dietary restrictions or needs, please contact us directly at 509-934-2211. A good rule of thumb is that it is always wonderful to offer a gluten-free option and steer clear of peanut butter/tree nut ingredients. If you could also please ensure that ingredients of items are somehow labeled and visible on the containers or via email to [email protected] that would be so helpful! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are hoping to donate monetarily, please follow the steps below: 1) Scroll through the calendar to select the evening you'd like to support. 2) Click on the "claim" button. 3) Click on the "I'll provide myself" button and in the description box you can type your name. 4) In the notes section below you can type "monetary donation". 5) In the "Note to Recipient" section you can provide your contact information (phone number, email). 5) Once you've completed those steps, we will receive an email and will be in touch with you for further instructions.
