Thank you to the March of Mayors for the 182 food boxes delivered by our wonderful firemen. Pictured unloading the boxes are FF Freddie Ferguson, FFC Tyler Bell, FFC Anthony Brownlee, Lt. Howard Lowe, Asst. Chief Martrellis L. McDowell, and Training Chief Christopher Glass. I know the community will appreciate the extra box.
James saved his allowance and donated $7.00 to the Community Food Pantry to buy a chicken so another boy would have one for Thanksgiving. James enjoys helping others.
