“Thank you to Nestle Water North America for the pallet of water donated to the Camp County Sheriff’s Office through the BlueTriton grant. Pictured are Investigator Randy Huggins and Jeff Hall with the Hawkins plant. We have recently acquired a refrigerator and microwave for our deputies’ offices that is utilized 24 hours a day. Being a non-profit public safety organization, we cannot budget funds to buy snacks or drinks for employees,” says Susan Taft. “This donation by Nestle Waters North America would go a long way in helping keep our deputies hydrated during the upcoming hot Texas summer.” COURTESY PHOTO
