COUNTRY Financial representative Brian Carnes is proud to support the Jefferson School with a donation of $2,000. The funds will be used to purchase holiday gifts of appreciation for teachers and administrators. Carnes delivered the gifts to more than fifty teachers and staff at the school.
“This school serves 274 students with 63% of them being economically disadvantaged students in our community,” says Carnes. “They go above and beyond to serve young people here. The least we can do is to express appreciation for all their efforts at this special time of year.”
COUNTRY Financial has donated more than $5 million since 2020 to organizations and programs that support first responders, active-duty service members, and veterans, supporting the company’s vision to “enrich lives in the communities we serve.” The Operation Helping Heroes program was created in 2015 to support non-profit events and programs that benefit active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. Later, the program expanded to include first responders and teachers.
