2015 Tacoma Firefighters Christmas Project
Tacoma Firefighters raise $14,000 to brighten the holidays for 150 local families.
For the past 27 years, Tacoma Firefighters have brought holiday cheer to the lives of thousands of Tacoma children and their families with deliveries of food, clothing and gifts just before Christmas. This year, firefighters have raised over $14,000 dollars to help more than 150 children and families in need.
“It’s always a great honor to help bring a little happiness to those in need during the holidays,” said project co-founder Captain Jim Lee. "We are also very grateful for the generous support from active and retired Tacoma Firefighters throughout the past 27 years. Without their commitment to the community and this program, none of this would have been possible" said Lee.
Special deliveries from a fire engine, medic unit and Santa Claus are scheduled for Dec. 19 and Dec. 21. This year’s recipients were identified through the Tacoma School District Head Start Program, and YWCA Women’s Shelter.
For additional information regarding this event, contact Captain Jim Lee at (253) 381-0851.
