EPFC Hosts Successful Toys for Tots Event
January 5th, 2011 |
| |
We are proud to announce the overwhelming success of our first ever Toys for Tots drive and open house event. The Company began accepting gifts to be donated to local children in November and the collection went right through to mid-December. We also had a phenomenal open house event which allowed us to meet and interact with members of the community and show off our wonderful fire house. Food was donated by local restaurants Yo Dogs, Sal’s Pizza, Gaetano’s Pizza, Luigi’s Pizza II, and Krispy Kreme Donuts. We’d like to sincerely thank everyone who came out and donated a gift... all told we collected more than 130 toys for the kids!
