Thanks to all of our friends for continuing to support our participation in the annual Seacoast Firefighters Toy Bank drive, bringing gifts to families who may need a little boost during the holiday season.  Once again, this year was a success, firefighters were able to help make this holiday special for over one hundred seventy five children in the Durham area, which was a significant increase over last year.  

Despite the increase, we were still able to answer every request for gifts and support families in our community.  Thankfully, through our collaboration with other Seacoast Firefighter's Toy Bank departments, we were also able assist a small number of families outside our town, including a family of eight who were burned out of their home just before Christmas. 

A very special thanks go out to our Toy Bank partners for hosting drop box locations, throwing holdiay party toy drives and a initiating a mini fill the boot campain at Light Up Durham:  Durham Marketplace, Ocean Bank at Newmarket Road and Main Street, Durham Town Hall, Durham Public Library, The Sisters of Alpha Phi Sorority at UNH and The Churchill Rink at Jackson's Landing.
