Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking 2025 Community Support Year in Review

Through our Holiday Toy Drive, we partnered with local charities to help bring joy to families during the holiday season. Thanks to the generosity of our customers, team members, and local partners, we collected toys for children who might otherwise go without, helping more families experience the magic and excitement of the holidays.

Each year, this drive is a powerful reminder of what can happen when communities come together with a shared purpose to give.

Since 1999, Schoolhouse Supplies has been providing free school supplies to children in the Portland area. During the KGW School Supply Drive, we contributed donations to help at least 15,000 local students and teachers receive the supplies they need.

Schoolhouse Supplies works to equip students and teachers with the tools they need to succeed by operating a free store for teachers and providing classroom materials to under-resourced schools. Through our Thanks a Million campaign, we supported their mission by donating to restock shelves with supplies educators can access at no cost.

We were proud to support West Linn High School’s “No Running in the Halls” team as they trained for and competed in the Portland to Coast Relay. This educator-led team set out with the meaningful goal of encouraging young people to embrace healthy competition, teamwork, and goal-setting.

Our Salem team put down their tools and picked up their clubs for the Wilsonville Chamber’s annual golf tournament. The event raised thousands of dollars for the Wilsonville Chamber’s Workforce Scholarship Program, helping local students pursue career and technical education opportunities.

We were also proud to support the 21st Annual Maurice Lucas Celebrity Golf Invitational in Aloha, an event that carries forward the legacy of Portland Trail Blazers legend Maurice Lucas. Proceeds from the tournament fund youth programs, scholarships, and mentorship opportunities that empower young people with leadership skills, educational support, and guidance that extends far beyond the basketball court.

In partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon and generous community suppliers, we helped create a safe, accessible outdoor sanctuary for Rex, a Vancouver teen facing medical challenges.

With heavy hearts, we share that Rex has passed away. We are deeply grateful that together with his family and our friends at Make-A-Wish, we were able to create a joyful space that will continue to hold his memory and the love of all who gather there.

Rick’s was proud to again partner with Michelle’s Love, an organization that supports single parents facing cancer by providing financial assistance to help cover everyday expenses while they undergo treatment. Michelle’s Love teamed up with us to rebuild a local mother’s fence, giving her family a safer, more secure space to call home.

WeShine creates safe, managed micro-village communities for people transitioning out of homelessness, providing shelter, stability, and access to support services. The Home Building Foundation connected Rick’s with WeShine, and we helped them build their largest collaborative build to date.

The American Cancer Society works to improve the lives of people facing cancer through research, patient support programs, advocacy, and prevention efforts. Through our donation-matching initiative, Rick’s and generous community donors contributed to funding the organization’s groundbreaking research, patient lodging and transportation, and critical resources for families navigating a diagnosis.

The Southwest Washington Humane Society hosts its annual Walk/Run for the Animals to raise critical funds for shelter operations, veterinary care, and adoption services for pets in need. Rick’s sponsored this high-energy community event, which brings together animal lovers, families, and local businesses to celebrate the important role pet companions play in our lives while directly supporting lifesaving programs.

Rick’s Tri-Cities team proudly hosted its 3rd Great American Flag Swap, which brought neighbors together to properly retire worn American flags and replace them with new ones, honoring a meaningful tradition with respect and care. The event provided a simple but powerful way for community members to participate in preserving patriotic customs with the assurance that flags were handled and disposed of appropriately.
