Roseville Cares Week for 2026 ran from January 31 thru February 8 to include two weekends. Though it was a chaotic time in Roseville due to Operation Metro Surge, we were able to include 2 events to honor Roseville Cares Week 2026. We hosted a luncheon for First Responders and there was a group volunteer event at Every Meal. At the same time we promoted scholarships for Roseville Area High School students.
First Responders Event
On Friday, February we hosted a luncheon for all the First Responders from the Roseville Police and Fire Departments. As part of this intiative, we raised $4,000 which we used to give gifts cards to the Roseville Police Department and the Roseville Fire Department to give to people in need.

Community Scholarships
To involve more businesses and organizations in Roseville Cares, this year we partnered with the Roseville Area High School (RAHS) Career and College Center to encourage organizations to provide scholarships for RAHS students. We were pleased these efforts resulted in 3 new scholarships!
- Premier Bank (2 scholarships)
- Roseville Historical Society
Operation Metro Surge
When we remember 2026, our community’s response to Operation Metro Surge was an extraordinary demonstration of what Roseville Cares means – even though everything that happened was without formal leadership – it was community members working together to care for our neighbors.
We are highlighting some of those actions here so we never forget what we are capable of as a community.
Our community raised over $700,000 to help people pay their rent.
Our community raised over $18,000 to enable Roseville Schools to buy gift cards to buy food for families.
There was an endless variety of things that community members did to support each other. This shows some of the ideas.
