Major Reginald R. Brown, Sr. has been a community hero for many years.  He is a retired East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office Deputy of 25 years and is presently the Baton Rouge City Constable.  He has received many awards throughout his career, including the Golden Deeds Award and the Southern University Trailblazer Award.  Our local Holiday Helpers was the brainchild of Constable Brown and a group of volunteers who cared about bringing our community together in a positive way.  For 30 years before passing the Holiday Helpers torch on to St. Vincent de Paul, Constable Brown made sure that this annual event provided a traditional Thanksgiving meal to the needy.   He’s also a leader in the annual Christmas Crusade, which collects toys for needy children.  He is a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Board of Directors.  The list of his accomplishments could go on and on, but it’s obvious that his life has been one of service to others.
