Jerry is actively involved physically and financially with Palms Presbyterian Church and its outreach programs such as BEAM, Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross, The Jacksonville Humane Society, and Nathan’s Cancer slayers, which is dedicated to his grandson who lost his life to pediatric cancer. Being able to give back to his community and help those in need is a fulfilling part of his life.

Additionally, he is heavily involved in the Georgia Bulldogs Football Booster Club in Jacksonville where he proudly supports his Dawgs. Even so much that he restored an old truck, it's name is Sanford, that's painted in Georgia colors.
