Local Firefighters Rely on Fundraisers for Key Equipment, Services

Goshen, PA — Across the state of Pennsylvania, volunteer fire departments struggle with two common problems — a lack of funding and manpower.  Goshen firefighters are one local example — but even amid struggles, they have found ways to sustain.  One popular fundraiser is the “Dinner for Donation” event that the department holds regularly. The community is provided with a meal and can give as much or as little money as they would like. Another popular fundraiser is the Square Dances. Kaschalk said the kids seem to really enjoy that one.  Goshen once held a boot drive when there was a temporary traffic light in the township.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
