The story everyone in our community needs to hear

An epidemic of fentanyl poisonings has taken at least 74 lives in Placer County in just the past few years, including Rocklin’s Zach Didier - a straight-A student, star athlete, musician and actor.

In Placer County’s new "One Pill Can Kill" podcast, they take a deeper look at the fentanyl crisis and its impacts on our community, what you can do to keep your family safe, and how Placer County health, law enforcement and education agencies, and other partners are working to address it.

City makes $1 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds available for community benefit

The first round of applications are currently open. Applications are due to the City by

Local non-profits receive more than $275,000 in grants funds from City 

At its July 12 meeting, the Roseville Grants Advisory Commission presented 21 local non-profits $279,681 in competitive grant funding from the City’s Citizens’ Benefit Fund and Roseville Employees Annual Charitable Hearts (REACH) Fund.

The Citizens’ Benefit Fund was established in 1993 following the sale of the city-owned Roseville Hospital. The proceeds were placed in a trust and a portion of the interest earned each year is made available for grants with the purpose of improving the quality of life for the residents of Roseville.

Since 1994, more than $16.5 million have been awarded to local non-profits from the trust.
