MOUNTAIN HOME RESIDENTS MAKE DONATIONS TO SHERIFF'S FOUNDATION FOR NEW VESTS
09/03/2024
Two Mountain Home residents have made a donation to the Baxter County Sheriff's Foundation, Inc. to allow for the purchase of two new body armor vests for Sheriff's Deputies.
Carl F. Edwards and Sharon Stevens-Edwards, in a show of support for law enforcement and for the safety of Sheriff's Office deputies, each recently donated $1,000 to the Sheriff's Foundation. These donations will be used to outfit two deputies with new vests. It is recommended that body armor vests be replaced every five years.
The Baxter County Sheriff's Foundation, Inc. is a domestic non-profit corporation that was formed in 2009. Its purpose is to provide financial support to the Baxter County Sheriff's Office and its employees beyond what is available and budgeted by the county government. The Foundation is governed by a nine member Board of Directors made up of civic-minded volunteers from within the community. The Foundation has 501 (c) 3 tax exempt status with the IRS. All donations are tax deductible. Anyone seeking additional information on the Sheriff's Foundation can go to its website: www.baxtercountysherifffoundation.com
The Baxter County Sheriff's Office is very appreciative of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards for their donations and also for all the years of support and encouragement that the Sheriff's Foundation has provided to our law enforcement mission.
