Discover RVR's achievements through inspiring Success Stories of individuals who have risen to fortune, acclaim, or remarkable accomplishments. More Success Stories Richard (Rick) Stokes Every day, River Valley Resources HR Manager Lisa Farris walks to work. Along the way, she often saw Richard, a 66-year-old man facing enormous challenges—physical limitations, a recent criminal charge, and the uphill battle of finding a job. One day, Lisa stopped and talked with him. That conversation changed everything. As they walked together, Richard shared his story and his determination to keep going despite the obstacles. Lisa, moved by his perseverance, told him about RVR’s new Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), which helps older adults re-enter the workforce. Richard didn’t hesitate—he called immediately. Not long after, RVR needed a janitor for the Clearinghouse. Through SCSEP, Richard was trained and hired. Today, “Rick,” as we now call him, works every day with pride, keeping the building spotless and welcoming. Tenants constantly notice the difference—and so do we. Rick’s journey has been anything but easy, but his story proves that second chances are real. With Lisa’s compassion and Rick’s determination, a chance encounter on the sidewalk became a powerful reminder: no matter how tough the road, hope and hard work can lead to something extraordinary. My Success Story

Jane's Kids The Bethany Legacy Foundation (BLF) established the Jane’s Kids Endowment in 2023. Jane Jacobs had great compassion in her heart for children, so when she learned there were many children in the community whose families could not afford summer activities, she did something about it. That lead to the creation of the Jane’s Kids Summer Scholarship Fund, which marked its 10th anniversary in 2024. Jane’s Kids, a program at the Clearinghouse of Jefferson County, provides financial assistance to families for children’s summer activities. Bethany Legacy Foundation established this endowment to provide perpetual funding for the program, as delivering safe, fun, and engaging activities for local youth aligns with Bethany Legacy Foundation’s mission of making Jefferson County the “healthiest place in the world.” Annual grants from this Designated Endowment will be sent to River Valley Resources to support the Jane’s Kids program so they can continue to provide access to summer programs for our youngest residents.
