News Channel 3's First Alert Chief Meteorologist Patrick Evans was named a Riverside County Volunteer of the Year.

Patrick received an award from District 4 Supervisor Manuel Perez Tuesday during the board of supervisors meeting.

“I am very proud to announce and honor and present the Fourth District Volunteer of the Year Award to Mr. Patrick Evans,” Perez said. “Over the years that I have known this man, Patrick has been one individual that, whenever I go to different events, no matter where they are in the Coachella Valley, guess who’s there? Patrick Evans. And he does it in his own way… Patrick is second to none, he never asks for anything in return, he just shows up… Patricio, congratulations buddy, you deserve this award!”

“I have the privilege of working with a lot of different nonprofits throughout the Coachella Valley,” Patrick said. “I’m very lucky to be in the profession that I’m in. It gives me a bit of visibility that I’m able to then help elevate other organizations by using the platform that I’ve been given. I appreciate the recognition today, it’s humbling and I’m very grateful.”
