"Support volunteers in small communities, because we wouldn't have the character of the community without them." Sherry Lange, an inspiring American Family Insurance agency owner in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, has been dedicated to insuring and protecting her community for 20 years. Her latest initiative? Repurposing an American Family emergency response vehicle into a mobile command station for the Jefferson County Emergency Communications (JCEC). American Family’s emergency response vehicles provide immediate, mobile support to customers affected by severe weather and catastrophes, assisting local claim employees with large claim volumes. While attending a district meeting, Sherry noticed retired emergency response vehicles replaced by updated models, which gave her the idea of repurposing one. “I think we have a need for that in Jefferson County,” she said. With American Family’s assistance and grassroots fundraising by the JCEC, the vehicle was given new life and purpose, enhancing JCEC's ability to respond to incidents and stay connected with the community. JCEC, powered by volunteers and on-call 24/7, assists with traffic occurrences, local incidents, and even coordinates with federal agencies during big events. They also provide a mobile presence at large community events like county fairs and parades. Sherry is proud to represent a company like American Family that gives back. Her husband, Merlin, has served over 10 years as chairman of the board of directors for JCEC. This story is a great example of how individuals can be a force for good in their communities. At American Family Insurance, we believe strong communities are the foundation of a thriving society. Through initiatives like this, we foster resilient and thriving communities, making a tangible difference where we live and work.
