Senior executive group leader Brandon Sullivan and assets protection group leader Nick Ferris, both from the Target Distribution Center in Midway, dropped into the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday morning to present a $1,000 check to Chief Deputy Keith Moran and Capt. David Edwards.
Moran said the money will help the department educate the community about the dangers of driving under the influence and the neighborhood watc h programs.
“This is huge,” Moran said. “The folks at Target have been wonderful and anytime we can get funds to protect our communities and our citizens, it’s a great thing.”
Edwards said the department provides educational resources, but the costs of obtaining pamphlets and signs for neighborhood watch programs are not in the department’s operating budget. The captain said Target invited the department to apply for grants.
“We’ve been partnering with Target Corporation for the past three years now,” he said. “They are helping us out by funding some things we normally can’t fund. The money will help cover the cost of all the educational pamphlets, signs and educational tools necessary for the programs.”
Sullivan said it’s the company’s way of giving back.
“We are here to give money to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office to support their efforts to continue in developing education about DUI and the neighborhood watch programs,” he said. “We are here for the long term and our goal is to make the community we live in a better place. It’s not just about the people we employ it’s about making all our areas safer.
“They have been gracious enough to help us out with that,” Edwards said. “And it will us make the neighborhoods more secure.”
