First responders are some of the most important people in our communities. Police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and other emergency workers are there when people need help the most. They often work long hours, face dangerous situations, and put others before themselves. We may not think about them every day, but when an emergency happens, we know we can count on them to answer the call.

All local first responders are invited to stop by and enjoy a freshly prepared jambalaya meal at no cost. The event is open to firefighters, police officers, emergency medical workers, dispatchers, and other first responders who serve the community.

"First responders are often the first to answer the call when our community is in need," said Kerry Leger, the event coordinator. "This event is our way of saying thank you and showing our appreciation for their courage, commitment, and selfless service."
