Lake City Roots. Lifelong Purpose.
For more than a decade, our families built businesses, raised children, volunteered, worked, and contributed to the fabric of Lake City and Hinsdale County.
From propane deliveries and lumber yards to chamber events, community gatherings, recreation programs, local nonprofits, and everyday mountain-town life, Lake City helped shape who we are.
Today, we have reconnected around a shared mission: supporting autistic adults and others with complex communication and sensory needs through CommuniKeys.
Lake City has always been more than a destination. It has been sanctuary, identity, community, and generational memory. This campaign honors those roots while helping build the next chapter of inclusive community life.
