Bill’s International Pizza Morning Coffee Slice – By Aaron Hall
Chatham-Kent Professional Firefighters would like to thank the Chatham-Kent community for helping them raise over $5,550 to support local charities this Christmas season.
Chatham-Kent Children’s Services received a donation of $4,000 this week for the No Child without a Christmas program. All toys, clothing and non-perishable food collected during the Chatham parade and an additional $1,442 was given to the Salvation Army. Non-perishable food collected at the Wallaceburg parade was donated to the local food bank.
“The donations made by the Chatham-Kent community during both parades were unbelievable,” says CKPFFA Treasurer Brent Case. “All of our fire boots were full to the top – the grand total was $3,585 – plus tons of toys and food.”
The firefighters annual friendly internal ‘squad vs squad’ competition raised an additional $1,856. Firefighters from Platoon B made the highest donation this year.
