No. 03 — Education

Education Initiative

Certifications and education programs open opportunity for rural government employees, underprivileged citizens, and veterans pursuing IT, medical, first responder, and emergency management careers — up to $2,000 per student.

In her memory

A legacy of care, carried forward.

This foundation exists in loving memory of our wonderful mother, Lois Parker, who passed away July 26, 2023.

She was a US Army Veteran, a dedicated nurse, and a VA health professional. Her belief in faith and service shaped every part of how she moved through the world.

She believed strongly in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ — and in helping all people who are in need.
