Harlem-Roscoe Fire Department Food Drive

The holidays are once again upon us and the Harlem-Roscoe Fire Department is looking for your help with our food drive. For decades we have provided families and our local seniors who are in challenging times, a complete holiday feast with plenty of extras to fill their pantry. 

Yearly we have surprised over 30 households with an average of 75 plus children during this time with the holiday feast, wrapped toys, clothing and many other items of need for each home. Better than a sleigh, delivery to each home will be made by one of our fire trucks and handed out by your HRFD firefighters on Saturday, December 18th 2021.

This year we will once again be collecting non-perishable boxed, bagged, and canned goods. Examples of items needed would be macaroni and cheese, Pop-Tarts, breakfast bars, peanut butter and jelly, canned goods, pasta, cereal. Send us a photo or we will take one if we pick up and we will be certain to get it on our Facebook page too!

So as to not collect all the same items, please tell our coordinator what your team has in mind for this year's food drive. Our target date for food to be dropped off to our station or picked up from your business is now until December 15th. Pick up can be arranged by calling 815-623-7867 if needed. Please contact HRFD deputy chief John Bergeron for any other food drive questions at 815-623-7867 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Email him directly at hrfdjbergeron@gmail.com.

Happy holidays,

Fire Chief Don Shoevlin, Harlem-Roscoe firefighters, staff, and families
