Bethel firefighters face a setback in their annual fire department fundraiser. A printing error ruined the self-addressed envelopes. Donations were supposed to be sent to the firehouse. Instead, they were returned to the senders.
The mistake caught Bethel Fire & EMS off guard. “We were just as surprised as you,” they posted on Facebook. The fire department relies on community donations to support its operations.
Despite the setback, Bethel residents can still donate. They can use the drive-up teller window at Newtown Savings Bank in Dolan Plaza. Online donations are also an option through the fundraiser’s website. Residents can drop off donations at the firehouse. However, it’s best to call ahead to ensure someone is available.
The printing error may have caused a delay. Nevertheless, it won’t stop the Bethel Fire & EMS from reaching their fundraising goals for the Fire Department fundraiser.
The Bethel Fire and EMS is grateful for the community’s support. They urge residents to continue donating despite the setback. Every donation counts and the fire department appreciates the community’s generosity. The fundraiser will continue until its goal is reached. Meanwhile, the fire department will work to resolve printing errors and ensure that all donations are received.
The community’s response to the setback has been overwhelming. Residents have taken to social media to express their support for the fire department. Many have shared their own experiences with the fire department and expressed gratitude for their services. The fire department is thankful for the outpouring of support and encourages residents to continue sharing their stories. By working together, the community can help the fire department reach its fundraising goals and continue to provide essential services.
