About / History of Kendall County Sheriff’s Office Foundation
The Kendall County Sheriff’s Foundation was conceived to provide public-spirited citizens with a way to contribute to the professional and personal success of the Sheriff’s Office and its employees. Our primary purpose is to innovatively expand, enhance, and sustain public safety services to the citizens of Kendall County by providing financial support beyond the scope of the Sheriff’s Office normal operating budget.
Your tax-deductible donations may be used to purchase items such as those listed on the Sheriff’s Office Wish List or may also be used for other activities that the Foundation’s Board of Directors deem to be suitable for the advancement and promotion of law enforcement, public service missions, and/or in furthering the responsibilities and objectives of the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and its employees.
The Sheriff’s Foundation is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of the President Brian Yarnell, Vice President Carol O’Brien, Treasurer Kurt Meder, Secretary Debbie Mayfield, and members John Carter, Jennifer Forbes, Coby Knox, and Cindy Edwards. These Directors volunteer their time and effort for the betterment of the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and their community.
