There is so much good ahead for Rice County! ❤️💙

When I look at this, I see our neighbors, our families, and the place we’re proud to call home. I see opportunities for our kids, support when life gets hard, care for our seniors, and places where we can come together.

That’s the hope behind Patterson Family Foundation RCCF Match Week. Every gift is a chance to help local organizations keep doing good—and build on what makes our communities special.

Join us November 2–13. Choose a cause close to your heart and give what you can. Together, we can help make the future brighter for the people who call Rice County home.

When we give here, we grow here. ❤️
