High Springs Police Department Partners with Cox to Enhance Operation Holiday Cheer

Donation from local broadband provider used to purchase Walmart Gift Cards for families in need

 HIGH SPRINGS – Today, representatives from Cox Communications (Cox) presented High Springs Police Chief J. Antoine Sheppard with gift cards totaling $4,000 to support Operation Holiday Cheer. The gift cards will be distributed through the Police Department’s annual holiday-giving initiative to families in need of a little extra support this holiday season.

“Private and public partnerships are essential during community outreach. Through this relationship, we all win by giving back”, said High Springs Police Chief Antoine Sheppard.

“In my mind, the holidays wouldn’t be complete without good food to share with family and friends,” said Aimee Pfannenstiel, Central Florida market vice president for Cox. “When we learned of the opportunity to enhance the Operation Holiday Cheer program by providing funds to also feed families in need, it was an easy yes.”

The High Springs Police Department with the help of our wonderful community has been overseeing the Holiday Cheer program annually for many years. The program works with the local schools to coordinate a list of candidates to receive items each year around the holiday season to spread Christmas magic and cheer.

Cox expanded its services into High Springs earlier this year. Currently, more than 500 homes now have access Cox’s fiber broadband network, with plans for more than 1,500 more to be connected throughout 2024.
