Volunteers from Building The Blue Bridge, a nonprofit whose mission is to bridge the divide in the community between residents and law enforcement, came together this week to sign cards with messages of support and appreciation to the officers of East Ridge.
Stacie Brasher, executive director, said, “It is important to rally around our first responders; a simple 'thank you' goes a long way and it’s important for these men and women to hear that from our community.”
In addition to the thank you cards, local business owner of Dept One Three Antique Store in East Ridge, Jessica Wheeler, catered dinner for the officers. Building The Blue Bridge delivered it to the station Tuesday evening.
