In a recent display of community support, the team at Gerding Enterprises has donated hundreds of holiday turkeys to local first responders in Jefferson County. The beneficiaries include employees from the Sheriff’s Office, High Ridge Fire Protection District, Byrnes Mill Police Department, Cedar Hill Fire Protection District, Jefferson County 911 Dispatch, North Jefferson County Ambulance District, and the Big River Ambulance District. This act of generosity was highlighted in a social media post by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office took to social media to publicly acknowledge the charitable contribution from Gerding Enterprises. "When it comes to generosity, thoughtfulness, and supporting first responders, it’s hard to beat the amazing team at Gerding Enterprises," the post read. They continued to express their gratitude, "We can’t thank them enough for all they do for first responders," a sentiment that shows the company's ongoing commitment to back up those who serve and protect the community. The hashtag #JeffCoProud used by the Sheriff's Office underscored the local pride and appreciation for such contributions.
This isn't the first time Gerding Enterprises has stepped up to support community initiatives. While details on their past contributions were not immediately available, their continued involvement, especially during holiday periods, is well documented. The company's focus on first responders, in particular, marks a recognition of the oftentimes stressful and demanding environment these public servants operate within.
