The Firefighters of the Eastman Fire Department are collecting toys for kids for Christmas. Firefighters will be at the entrance doors at Walmart today, Nov 30, 2013 from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Other dates are December 13 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm and Dec 14 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Toys will be accepted, as well as monetary donations. Chief Carl Johnson pointed out that all donations for this drive will be used locally in Dodge County and 100% goes to the purchase of toys, unlike some national organizations that take a large portion of donations for administration fees and distribute nationally. “Everything will be handled locally through the Christian Life Center in Eastman” said Chief Johnson.
Donations will also be accepted at the Fire Station#2 located behind City Hall.
