Midland County law‑enforcement officials are stepping out of the precinct and into the kitchen to raise money for a local cause. The Midland County Sheriff’s Office, together with the Midland County Deputy Sheriff’s Association, will host a hamburger fundraiser on Thursday, November 12, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Fannin Terrace Baptist Church, located at 2800 Mogford Street in Midland.
The event is organized to benefit Freddie Carter IV, a resident who has recently faced unexpected medical expenses. Attendees can purchase a complete meal—hamburger, chips, and a drink—for $10. The simple, family‑friendly price is intended to make the fundraiser accessible to a broad cross‑section of the community.
How to Participate
Anyone interested in supporting the cause can simply show up at the church during the designated hours. For those who need the meals delivered or have questions about pickup logistics, Sergeant Moore is the point of contact. He can be reached at 432‑664‑6696. The sheriff’s office has emphasized that volunteers will be on hand to ensure a smooth flow of service and to answer any inquiries.
Why the Community Is Involved
Midland’s residents have a long tradition of rallying around neighbors in need, and this fundraiser continues that spirit of neighborly care. By providing a straightforward way for families, church groups, and local businesses to contribute, the event underscores the close ties between law‑enforcement agencies and the citizens they serve. It also offers a safe, family‑oriented environment where people can gather, share a meal, and demonstrate the values of faith, family, and individual liberty that define the community.
Looking Ahead
Organizers hope the fundraiser will not only meet its financial goal for Freddie Carter IV but also strengthen the bond between the sheriff’s office and Midland’s neighborhoods. The event reflects a broader commitment by local officials to be visible, approachable, and supportive of the people they protect.
Midland County deputies encourage anyone who can attend to do so, and they thank the church, volunteers, and donors in advance for helping make the day a success.
