ATHENS– Athens Fire/Rescue Auxiliary presents your chance to sponsor a child’s Christmas shopping. AFR auxiliary has been dedicating itself to assist our community by raising money to take underprivileged children Christmas shopping. We allow $100.00 to spend per child. This includes $50.00 to be spent on necessities (such as: clothes) and $50.00 to be spent on their choice (such as: toys, clothes, etc.). We usually have between 40 and 80 kids that are chosen from schools throughout our county. This cannot be accomplished without help from our community through donations. We are a 501 C-3 organization so we can print you a receipt to turn in for your taxes. We accept any amounts however; it takes $100.00 to provide for one child. Here is how you can help:
- Contact Athens Fire Rescue 256-233-8710.
- Arrange for a check to be picked up or mail the check to:
950 West Washington St.
Athens, AL 35611
Make checks payable to AFR AUX. (Athens Fire/Rescue Auxiliary)
- Provide your name, telephone number, and address.
Our shopping day is chosen in early December and it is covered by local media. It is our goal to provide for these families during their time of need. Below is a form if you would like to make a donation.
