Following a fire in their family home, the Jelicks family found themselves displaced and in sudden need of assistance. Their home in the Sentry-managed Glen at River Ridge in New Port Richey, FL, now stood charred and uninhabitable. In response to the crisis, the community and the Sentry Management team in Pasco quickly mobilized to help the family in need.  

Through the assistance of Sentry Management’s charitable program, Giving SMILES, Pasco’s Division President, Tom Conner, delivered over a thousand dollars in employee-funded donations and gift cards to the Jelicks to help the family purchase immediate necessities in the aftermath of the fire.  

Fellow neighbors at the Glen at River Ridge also mobilized to assist the Jelicks through a special food truck event and benefit dinner. Although food truck gatherings are regular occurrences within the community, the funds collected during the food truck event went toward the family’s donation fund. The Glen at River Ridge HOA Board also put on a special benefit dinner for the Jelicks on the same night as the food truck event. The donated funds from the gift cards, food truck event, and Board dinner totaled over $2,000 for the Jelicks. 

While the family home is being repaired and updated, the Jelicks have moved to a neighboring community. Tom and the rest of the Sentry Management Pasco team were grateful for the opportunity to help some of the residents they serve during their time of need. This incident not only showcases Sentry Management’s unwavering commitment to community support but also highlights Sentry’s continued desire to ensure that their local communities are great places to live and that community members are cared for.
