Default What you can do for emts and firefighters

I spoke with John Longacre, Lieut., emergency resource specialist, at public safety headquarters on Morse.

His first words to me regarding what we can do for them were, "we never turn down food." So if you want to share a meal or other goodies with your nearest public safety station, they will be grateful and eat it all up.

There are three other ways to donate funds:

1. A gift card brought to the station that they can use to bring food to the station, such as a grocery store, subway, etc.. To be shared among staff.

2. Checks earmarked for appreciation fund should be targeted for your favorite station. Will be used for severe needs of first responders, and morale boosters, such as family day.

3. Checks earmarked for firefighter foundation (deductible) will be used across the The Villages stations for needs of firefighters.
Address for checks.
