Saxis Fire Dept. Toy GiveAway A Success!

The Saxis Volunteer Fire Company was successful again this year with their annual toy and coat drive!

Wednesday evening at the fire house tables were lined up and filled with warm coats and plenty of new toys!

Children from the Saxis, Sanford and Messango area with their parents, and even grandparents, stopped by to make their selection. There were even a few handmade blankets left for the children that had been donated by the volunteers for the "Linus Project" .

The blankets had been dropped off a few weeks ago, following Hurricane Sandy, by Donna Clarke the chairman of the Linus Project for Delmarva. These blankets,  all handmade, are given to children who have recently experienced unfortunate circumstances. Each child Wednesday night left with a warm snuggly blanket and new toys!

Every Christmas season the Saxis Volunteer Fire Company is fortunate to have so many businesses and individual residents donate toys so the fireman can keep this tradition going.

And on this night it  was wonderful to see these people at the fire house under happier circumstances.  For weeks following Hurricane Sandy the residents of Saxis and surrounding areas had used the fire department as their go to center for supplies.
