After a house fire in the community of Grayson a family was left displaced in a hotel so Patterson Gives Back assisted with a gift card to help the family eat out while in the hotel. Once they found a place to rent they needed beds for the family so we partnered with (Love Patterson) who supplied the bedding, worked with (Mattress Firm in Turlock) to supply 5 twin beds for the family, and a generous community member donated a queen bed. This is the Patterson community stepping up to help each other. This is what makes our town so special. Thank you Patterson! Without your generous support our organizations could not help those in need.

☀️ Hello, Summer! ☀️
Today marks the first day of summer—longer days, warmer nights, and all the sunshine we’ve been waiting for! 🌻🔥

As we dive into the season of BBQs, hikes, and beach days, here are a few quick summer safety tips to help you stay cool and protected:

💧 Hydrate Often – Water is your best friend. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty!
🧴 Wear Sunscreen – SPF 30 or higher, and don’t forget to reapply.
🧢 Cover Up – Hats, sunglasses, and light clothing go a long way.
🏖️ Know the Signs of Heat Exhaustion – Dizziness, nausea, and heavy sweating are red flags.
🌳 Seek Shade – Especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun is at its peak.

🇺🇸✊🏿 JUNETEENTH: CELEBRATE & CONTINUE THE WORK ✊🏿🇺🇸

Today we honor Juneteenth — a powerful reminder of the day when freedom was finally proclaimed for enslaved African Americans in Texas, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

While we celebrate freedom, we also recognize that the journey toward true equality is far from over. Justice, opportunity, and dignity must be extended to all people — in every community, every day.

Let this day inspire action, reflection, and unity. Let’s keep pushing for equity, education, and a future where liberation is lived, not just declared.

Today, we honor more than a flag — we honor the enduring principles stitched into its very fabric.

In a time of division and uncertainty, we look to the values our Founding Fathers enshrined in the Constitution: liberty, justice, free speech, and the belief that all are created equal. These aren’t just ideas from the past — they are the compass we hold to guide us forward.

As our flag waves — tattered but unbroken — so too does our commitment to one another and to the nation we strive to become. Today we bow not in defeat, but in solemn unity for what this flag represents.

🗽 We remember. We reflect. We recommit.

Attentive firefighters identified another family in need that could not make it to the hospital to see a sick loved one. Patterson Gives Back stepped in and provided the support to get them to the hospital to see their family member. The family has asked for prayers of healing from the community and is very grateful to be a part of this wonderful, supportive community.

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸
Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Their courage, selflessness, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten.

As we enjoy the day with family and friends, let’s also take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day.

We remember. We honor. We thank you.

Your Patterson Firefighters identified a family in need who could not afford the gas needed to go see their family member at the hospital and the medications they needed. We sprang into action through our nonprofit Patterson Gives Back and were able to provide the financial assistance to get this person with their family and the medications they needed. We are only able to do this because of the love and support the Patterson Community has provided. Thank you for being the best part of our mission.

This EMS Week, we extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible emergency services workers who answer the call—day or night, rain or shine. Your courage, compassion, and commitment to saving lives never go unnoticed.

From the firefighters on the scene to the paramedic in the back of the rig, thank you for being the calm in the chaos and the strength our communities rely on.

Patterson Gives Back is proud to honor and support the heroes who make a difference when it matters most.
