Community Involvement

Stephenson Rife is guided by a mission that includes a strong focus on the communities in which we live. Our services have taken us around the nation, but we have made our home in Central Indiana, in Shelby County. It is important for every member of our team to never forget where we came from and to keep those roots strong as we continue to grow.

Here are some of the local organizations we support in Shelbyville, statewide, and beyond.
