Local Firefighters Collecting Items For LACASALocal Firefighters Collecting Items For LACASA

12/18/12 - The Hartland Deerfield Firefighters Association is asking for community support in collecting basic needs items for a non-profit that assists survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. The association has posted LACASA’s “Wish List” at various fire departments, which can also be viewed through the link below. Its asking community members to collect basic items LACASA uses every day that are in high demand such as laundry detergent, toilet tissue, bottled water, along with kids items and toys. Hartland/Deerfield Firefighter and Association Board Member Tamara Johnston says they wanted to find a way to assist LACASA, which works around the clock 365 days a year to help those in need in the community. She says they intend to collect items on a monthly basis for LACASA but any Christmas items or kid’s toys should be dropped off no later than Thursday so they can be delivered in time. Items can be dropped off in donation boxes that have been set up at Fire Station 61 in Hartland and Fire Station 63 in Deerfield. (JM)
