Over 200 Security First Insurance employees took part in the company's Giving Thanks Decorating Contest, which provided an opportunity for team members to give back to the community for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Held on Wednesday, Nov. 13, each decorated basket contained non-perishable food items and grocery store gift cards, providing a week’s worth of meals for 18 families in need, according to a press release. Nearly $1,600 in gift cards were also donated, surpassing last year’s donation. In collaboration with the Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler counties, all donations were distributed to the local community.

“As we reflect on the incredible generosity of our team members, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude," said Melissa Burt DeVriese, president of Security First Insurance. "The dedication and compassion our team members have shown embodies the spirit and joy of giving. Each basket created, each donation made, and every effort to support our community highlights the remarkable character of our team.

As part of the contest, Security First judges selected three winning baskets:

  • First Place: Underwriting’s Gravy Train
  • Second Place: Customer Support’s Heartfelt Hauler
  • Third Place: Claims’ Turkey Technical Team
