Hometown Heroes: Patterson, CA Honors RPCV For Her Service

As a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV) how many of you have been asked to stand and be recognized for your service at a sporting or other public event? How many of you have been thanked for your service? How many of you have been honored by your hometown for your Peace Corps service?

Patterson, California City Hall recently honored their “Hometown Heroes,” and among the several members of the armed forces, first responders, and frontline defenders recognized for their service was RPCV Kennedy Cassidy. Ms. Cassidy was a Community Health Volunteer in Madagascar (2023-2024).

Each honoree received a banner that will be mounted on a streetlight pole in Patterson.
