THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Saturday night we were able to bring in $8400 between cover charges, 50/50 and raffle items. This doesn’t include the bags and bags of toys collected as well. A heartfelt shout out to Squeek's for opening up his establishment for the night. Thank you to everyone who showed up and thank you to everyone who bid on items. Every year this event gets bigger and bigger. Squeek said next year, we are going to hit the $10,000 mark!

Wheeeew! What a morning that was! Thank you to all the guidance counselors who put in so much time for their children. From organizing applications, to coming in and sorting toys, and then spending hours “shopping” through the thousands of toys we have to pick out the best fit gift for their families. The effort is worth it for the smiles on the children’s faces!

Today is our toy drive through! 9am-3pm at Station 592 (8700 Refugee Road) Enter into the parking lot, drive around the back of the station and you will drive through the bays where the fire trucks sit! With the help of the local Girl Scouts, we will empty your car for you! Stay warm and donate to a great cause!

Our annual Toy 'Drive Thru' event will take place this Saturday, December 13th, from 9am-3pm at Station 592, located at 8700 Refugee Rd in Pickerington. Simply drive through the bays where the trucks are parked, and our firefighters and a local Girl Scout troop will unload the toys for your convenience. You won't even need to exit your vehicle. With only 17 days remaining until Christmas, we are racing against time to collect as many toys and gift cards as possible.
