For 48+ years, Rose Paving has been known for its big heart and helping hands and 2014 was no exception. Not only did we give through monetary donations, our entire staff was involved with various charity events: we prepared meals for the Ronald McDonald House, we collected shoes and coats for those in need, and helped build housing for veterans. In fact, we were able to increase our efforts over the prior year by 20 percent as we supported 21 charities. The list is below.
