On Friday, December 15th, 2017, Jasper County Sheriff’s Office Employees participated in a gift card give away.

For the 2nd year in a row, an anonymous donor generously provided funding for gift cards.

During the evening hours, Sheriff’s Office employees randomly chose shoppers at area businesses and handed them a $100 gift card. Twenty gift cards were provided to persons in Jasper County.

We would like to thank our donor for their generous giving during the holiday season. The recipients were very thankful for this kind gesture.

On a side note, the Sheriff’s Office staff was also on the receiving end of a little holiday spirit. After our shift of playing Santa Claus, several of us dined at a local restaurant. Much to our surprise, a very generous citizen anonymously picked up the tab for all of our meals! So we would also like to offer our appreciation to our benefactor!
