Here at SERVPRO of Waycross, Hinesville, and Douglas, we think our clients and customers are amazing. More than just names on a list, you are part of the SERVPRO family!
To express our appreciation for all of you this summer, we are partnering with the Main Street of Waycross and Stacie Jones State Farm for the July Movie In The Park on July 13, which will feature that family of super-heroes we all know and love: THE INCREDIBLES! Bring your own amazing and incredible family on down to Phoenix Park to enjoy this fantastic, family-friendly, free showing in downtown Waycross.
Known to the world as the superheroes Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, Bob Parr and his wife Helen were among the world’s greatest crime fighters, saving lives and fighting evil every day. The movie begins 15 years later when they have been forced to take on civilian identities and go to live in the suburbs, attempting to lead normal lives. They now have three children, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. Bob is itching to get back into action, and he finally gets his chance when a mysterious message summons him to a remote island for a top secret assignment!
Bring chairs and blankets for your seating and be ready at dusk for the free showing to begin!

Retiring of Fred the Ford

The passing of the keys for our beloved Fred the Ford
Retiring of Fred the Ford
Fred the Ford Van has served our company for countless hours, days, weeks, and years. But the truth of the matter was that Fred the Ford has not been receiving the love he deserved after the purchase of a newer SERVPRO van. Here Fred sat just dreaming of the day he would have a purpose again -- and then it hit SERVPRO of Waycross; Fred could serve as an asset to a family. We contacted Wayne County Protective Services, also known as Fair Haven, and they said that Fred the Ford would serve as a blessing to the ministry. With a little TLC, Fred the Ford is now serving Fair Haven as a new addition to there fleet of vehicles to transport women to jobs and children to their doctor’s appointments. Fred the Ford has a purpose again, and we couldn’t be happier for him.
What is Fair Haven?
The mission of Wayne County Protective Services is to provide a quality 24-hour emergency shelter with comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence and their children as well as educating the community of the effects to end the cycle of abuse. Reducing the level of domestic violence will further by access to preventive education, awareness events, and public speaking to schools, civic groups, and partner agencies to foster communities towards the issues of domestic violence with knowledge, courage, and compassion.
