Police, EMS Workers and Firefighters are just a few of the groups who always work during Thanksgiving. At the Alachua County Combined Communications center employees work around the clock as well.

The call center was fully staffed taking in calls throughout the thanksgiving holiday. But employees did have a thanksgiving feast of their own. Most of those who worked on Thanksgiving say they will do it over again at Christmas but they all agree their co-workers make the office feel like home away from home.
