JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A Jamestown woman surprised employees at frontline businesses and organizations with the delivery of a total of 800 gift baskets to frontline workers in the area.
Tia Nordberg is an employee at the James River Correctional Center who is relatively new to Jamestown. Not being from North Dakota has given her the opportunity and time to give back during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nordberg partnered with Operation Gratitude, a nationwide nonprofit, to assemble and deliver the gift bags. She delivered 800 baskets to employees with the fire department, law enforcement, and prison, including 350 baskets to the Jamestown Regional Medical Center.
Kate Ryan-Anderson, Marketing Manager with JRMC, described the delivery as a “total morale boost” and “very special” given that Nordberg is a frontline worker herself.
