Every year, Mercer Transportation has the honor of inviting Louisville’s first responders to our warehouse in Building 8 for a special appreciation lunch. This event is our way of saying thank you to the brave men and women who keep our community safe. We hosted the Louisville Metro Police Department, the Louisville Fire Department, Louisville’s EMS. This year, our meal was catered by the local company Food Obsessions, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their delicious meals.

A Unique Opportunity to Connect with First Responders

The appreciation lunch is not just about great food; it’s a unique opportunity for our staff to mingle with our local first responders. It’s a chance to hear their stories, share our gratitude, and build stronger relationships with the people who serve our city every day. At Mercer, we believe in the importance of bridging the gap between our business and the communities that we live in.

Strong Community Ties

Mercer Transportation is more than just a business. We are a proud member of the Louisville community. We actively participate in volunteer work, donate to local charities, and strive to make our city a better place. Our beautiful buildings in the downtown area not only increase the visual appeal but also show our commitment to the community’s growth and well-being.

Supporting Veterans and First Responders

Mercer's Former First Responders greet their old collogues.

We are also strong supporters of military veterans and first responders. Many of our employees are former veterans and first responders themselves, bringing valuable skills and experiences to our team. Their dedication and commitment to service inspire us to give back to those who have given so much.

Looking Forward

As we look forward to future events, we remain dedicated to our mission of supporting and appreciating the heroes in our community. Whether through appreciation lunches, volunteer work, or simply maintaining our beautiful downtown buildings, Mercer Transportation is committed to being a contributing member of the Louisville community.

First Responders leave Mercer with a full stomach.

Thank you to all the first responders for your service. We are proud to support you and look forward to many more years of working together to keep our community strong and safe.
