Every first-responder working on Thanksgiving Day in Kent and Sussex counties will get a homemade hot meal delivered to each of them this holiday, thanks to the volunteers behind the non-profit Blessings for Badges.
Blessings for Badges was founded in Sussex County in 2018 to provide meals for police officers, paramedics, firefighters, dispatchers and correctional officers who can’t enjoy a meal at home with their families for the holiday. In Sussex County, meals will be assembled at the Millsboro Volunteer Fire Company’s fire hall and delivered to each first-responder’s station.
“We are just so thankful for what these heroes do for us every day, but especially on holidays when we all are enjoying our families and sometimes forgetting about the people who keep us safe,” said Cindi Susi of Harbeson, president of Blessings for Badges.
