On November 28th the SLVFD hosted our second annual toy drive to assist "Holiday Helpers". Holiday Helpers is a great local program that provides toys and other needed items to area children in need during the holiday season. Our drive is intended to assist Holiday Helpers effort in making the holidays a happy experience for all children.
Folks from town, organizations, and other groups of first responders passed through the fire department throughout the day dropping off presents while the firefighters put the finishing touches on this years Christmas decorations on the fire house.
As a fire department we respond to incidents all the time where we see people at their worst. Today is a great day for us because on days like today we get to see people at their best!!! We love the community we serve and we are so thankful for your generosity.
This has been a great success, we will be doing it again next year!!!
