Discover how the RK Foundation supports Coles County through local initiatives like The Compass—your go-to guide for events, businesses, and attractions—and Harvest of Hope, our annual fundraiser celebrating and uplifting the heart of our community.
The Compass.
The Compass is a community-driven guide and online hub that highlights everything that makes Coles County special. From local history and hidden gems to events and attractions, it connects residents and visitors to the best of the region.
Created in partnership with local leaders and supported by Rural King, The Compass is more than a resource—it’s a celebration of community pride and progress. As Coles County continues to grow, so will The Compass, sharing the people, places, and stories that define our home.
Harvest of Hope.
Harvest of Hope is an annual community fundraiser dedicated to supporting local programs and uplifting those in need across the region. Hosted with heart and hometown pride, this signature event brings together residents, businesses, and community leaders for an evening of giving, gratitude, and celebration.
Proceeds from Harvest of Hope directly benefit impactful initiatives that strengthen families, promote education, and enhance the overall quality of life in our area. It’s more than just a fundraiser—it’s a testament to the compassion and resilience of Coles County.
