EVESHAM FIRE-RESCUE

Donations to children in need Volunteer and career members of Evesham Fire teamed up with the members of the Evesham FOP to purchase over $15,000 worth of toys for children in need. The monetary donation was made by a business owner in Evesham, who wishes to remain anonymous. Toys will be distributed at an upcoming dinner we host for the families. Residents were asked to advantage of the Evesham Holiday Wishes Program also running in town and make a toy, food or new clothing donation.
