Patterson Gives Back is a nonprofit organization committed to building a stronger, connected community.
Mission Statement
Patterson Gives Back is committed to building a stronger, connected community. We achieve this by engaging in meaningful acts of kindness, establishing financial partnerships with local organizations, and actively supporting the communities within Patterson, Grayson, Westley, Diablo Grande, Crows Landing, and Newman.
Governing Body
The Board of Patterson Gives Back comprises 3-5 members of the IAFF Local 4577 – Patterson Firefighters Association. Current Board members are Nicholas Jamieson, Marty Greunke, and Mike Ambrosino. All long-time Patterson residents and Captains with the Patterson Fire Department.
What does that mission look like?
Patterson Gives Back will fundraise via their online presence and through community fundraisers. Patterson Gives Back will give the membership of Local 4577 the ability to approve spending up to a specified amount if an immediate need arises. This will allow members to immediately make a difference. Patterson Gives Back will also support other organizations that create community and have helped the communities we serve. This will include the Patterson Firefighters Toy Drive and the Fill the Boot drive that benefits the Firefighters’ Burn Foundation. This organization is separate from Local 4577 and was established as a charitable organization to help the community.
Identification of Needs
Requests received through Patterson Firefighters or employees of the Patterson Fire Department are accepted. The objective of the program is to create opportunities for members of the fire department to help people in need by doing acts of kindness.
