Countdown to Sparky's journey through western Craven County has begun!!!. Tomorrow morning, a small parade of fire apparatus will be traveling through and around the new bern, Cove City, and dover communities. No reason to be alarmed, it's just volunteers from station 31 (West New Bern) 32 (Cove City) 33 (Dover) and 35 ( No.9 Township Fire and Rescue) deliver toys to several local families. From all of us at Fill The Sleigh, Merry Christmas!!!!

It's that time of the year again everyone!!! Sparky has a list and it's a big one this year. We need toys and gifts for the kids in western Craven County. We accept new ,unwrapped, toys, gifts, and money through donations by several means. You can drop off your donation items at the Jasper, Cove City, and Dover Dollar General locations, or contact a member of one of the participating fire stations, Dover station 33, Cove City station 32, No.9 Township station 35, or West New Bern station 31. Your contributions will stay local and support local families that could use a little extra help during this time of the year. Thank you for any help you can provide, and for your continued support.

20 yrs ago tonight, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives.

None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted...Also all those still dealing with the aftermath with cancer and losing their loved ones.

Copied and shared 💔 Please do the same in remembrance of the fallen. 😇

We're starting to gear up and get prepared for this year's Fill the Sleigh. This will be our 4th year in operation and we're hoping to reach more families across western Craven County. We are always on the lookout for any information on chilgren 12 and under that could use our help. Any info from our community as well as toy or monetary donations are greatly appreciated and needed.

Well here is the latest update on the new Sleigh. Still have a few details to wrap up, wire up the siren and lights, and have the skids made for it. We're always open to take toy and monetary donations to help with Sleigh or to start putting toys in for the community children.
