Huge Thank you to The Brickhouse Grind

Posted on November 23, 2019 by

A HUGE THANKS to The Brickhouse Grind for their help today with the toy drive drop off and fundraiser event for the 14th Annual Fredericktown Firefighters Association Toy Drive. The haul of toys was greatly increased, easy 3x as much this year, and the monetary donations are going to be key in rounding out the toy shopping. Thank you to the Brickhouse for also donating back 10-percent of todays sales to the toy drive as well!

This event takes a village, it takes a lot of hands, and a lot of dedication to see it every year.
