Description
The 11/30 Network, Franklin County’s young professionals group, is actively seeking donations from local businesses and community members for the 5th Annual Franklin County First Responders Appreciation Day on December 13.
The event will honor and recognize Franklin County police and sheriff departments, fire departments, emergency medical responders and the emergency services department by delivering care packages to each station. Groups of volunteers will organize on Friday, December 13 at the Chambersburg Chamber to assemble and deliver the packages to 37 stations.
“This is our chance to show how grateful we are for the sacrifices our first responders make daily,” said Sam Thrush, member of the 11/30 Network Steering Committee. “We would like to invite the community to join us by volunteering or submitting donation items to help support our local heroes.”
Types of donations include gift cards, monetary funds, in-kind items (platters of donuts, bagels, subs, pizza, etc.) as well as vouchers for future use by the stations. Donors are recognized upon delivery of the care packages and may also be recognized on social media leading up to the event.
Donations may be dropped off at the Chambersburg Chamber or made available for pick-up no later than 5 p.m. on Monday, December 9. If the donation is perishable, please contact Thrush to arrange drop-off/pick-up on December 12 or 13. For more information, please contact Thrush at sthrush@chambersburg.org or 717-264-7101.
The 11/30 Network is an initiative of the Greater Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce. It is a dedicated group of young professionals with a desire to be involved in the community through social, civic and professional opportunities. For more information, visit 1130Network.com.
