AED donated to the Gather Place

By Feb. 1, 2024, Jasper County Elderly Nutrition will be operating its congregate meals program for Monroe residents at The Gathering Place.

The Jasper County Sheriff’s office is happy to support The Gathering Place by donating an AED, a medical life-supporting device, to the Monroe Senior and Community Center. Brad Shutts, Lt. Sheriff of Jasper County, was pleased to be able to donate the AED as many seniors and community members attend the Gathering Place on a daily basis.

“Monroe has a great team of EMT/Fire Department volunteers, but adding the AED medical device will bring more safety to Monroe” Shutss said.

The Gathering Place is very grateful that the community is working together.
