NEW ALBANY, Ind. (WDRB) -- Orange County Sheriff's Deputy Zac Andry is making improvements several weeks after being shot, and his southern Indiana community came together Thursday to raise money for his family.

From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, 50% of mobile orders and pay sales at McDonald's located at 2621 Charlestown Road in New Albany will go to support Andry's family.

On Thursday, 50% of mobile orders and pay sales at McDonald's located at 2621 Charlestown Road in New Albany will go to support Andry's family. And Sean Bauer, who owns several McDonald's locations in the area, will also match donations up to $5,000, potentially raising $10,000 or more. 

"Anybody that stops by between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and uses the mobile order to pay app, we're going to donate 50% of all of the sales to him and his family," John Broberg, who is director of operations for Bauer's organization, said Thursday. "We also have a jar up front where they can do cash donations and match and PayPal, and then Sean will match anything up to $5,000."

Andry was recently transferred to the Frazier Rehab Institute in Louisville. On Jan. 3, he was shot four times during a traffic stop on Highway 150 near West Baden, Indiana. The suspect in the shooting, Austin Schepers, was shot and killed by police in Louisville on Saturday, Jan. 4, after an extensive manhunt. 

Orange County Sheriff Davy Henderson received the news a deputy had been shot while at home and rushed to the hospital.

"It really hit home with us here lately, how dangerous our jobs are, even in a small community like ours," Henderson said.

The community has shown an outpouring of support since the shooting, including a prayer vigil and donations of food, money and other assistance. 

Andry, a husband and father of three young children, is making gradual improvements, Henderson said. 

"The community has been amazing, and we're making sure the family has everything they need while Deputy Andry focuses on his recovery," he said.

"Actually got a little bit of an update on him," said Sherry Willen, executive director of the Louisville Metro Police Foundation.

Willen said she's visited with Andry and his family. 

"He is able to raise his head a bit, click a pen, wipe his face, help with rolling himself over," she said. "So he is making progress, and that's exciting news."
