A few members at Patterson Legal Group were not letting a little rain stop them from delivering hot, nutritious noon meals through Meals on Wheels.
Supported by the Senior Services of Wichita, Meals on Wheels delivers hot meals to homebound people age 60+ each weekday. More than just a meal, the program provides a friendly, familiar face at the doors of home-bound people every day. Family members and friends are rest assured when they cannot check up on their loved ones, the Meals on Wheels volunteer will be there for them. Meals on Wheels is a valuable lifeline for many people who have difficulty advocating for themselves.
Gary and Tyler participated in the 3rd annual 100 Men Who Cook Fundraiser this past weekend supporting The Pando Initiative.
Every great chef has a signature dish. The dessert of mini butterscotch pies continues to be the perfect choice for the Patterson’s to showcase their skills.
Patterson Legal Group raised over $1,600 for this wonderful organization! The Pando Initiative has been successfully connecting with more than 200,000 students in area schools since 1990. Their core model focuses on individual students who are struggling with school and life.

Jason, a retired deputy, has found himself protecting long after serving. In early 2019, off-duty Jason responded to a car wreck he heard late at night near his suburban home. He found one coherent victim and another in a locked truck 50 yards from the road due to the impact of the wreck. After breaking the glass on the passenger’s side, Jason found a man barely breathing and called 911.
Without Jason’s quick response, the truck would most likely not have been found until morning – and the second victim, Al (wearing a black hat in right photo), would not have attended the game. Jason has helped evacuate a family from a nearby fire, helped a hitchhiker in the Flint Hills on a freezing night, and called for help upon finding multiple highway wrecks. Congrats, Jason, and thank you for your sacrifice!
