Partner of the Month: Washington County

This month, we are thrilled to recognize Washington County as our "Partner of the Month." Their generous collaboration has been instrumental in the success of the ROI program. Washington County has graciously allowed us to use their new administration building for various outreach events, helping us enhance our program's visibility and impact within the community.

Their support and promotion of the ROI program have been pivotal in driving our community outreach initiatives forward since we started back in 2018. We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to continued success together.
