MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho — In a rural town like Mountain Home, neighbors say community resources are scarce, but one mother created a space for kids and parents to escape isolation and connect with others.

The Watering Hole , a new community center in Mountain Home, offers something many neighbors say they've been missing: a space for families to gather and bond.

"It's just a safe space to come and be,” said Tiffany Durant, the Watering Hole's executive director. “Parents can see their kids all throughout the space, so they can be visiting with another parent and they can still see them.”

Durant says the idea grew from her own experiences in motherhood.

"I went through postpartum depression in this town and felt very isolated," Durant said.
