Amazing fundraiser from an amazing community

On Saturday February 15, the volunteers of the Voluntown Fire Company put together an amazing chicken dinner fundraiser for April. To say the response was overwhelming would be putting it mildly. This event, take out/drive through only, sold 700 tickets AND was turning people away on the event day because they were sold out! To top it off, the day brought a significant snowfall which was at its worst just as the event was starting. But these volunteers never wavered. They stood in the snow and served all the cars that came through with a smile.

To see the way this community came together to support one of its own was humbling. So many people that attended didn’t know April personally but it was their way to help. Thank you for caring.

There are simply no words enough to thank everyone that put together this effort, those that braved the snow and cold, those that cooked, those that came, and those that donated.  You are all amazing.
