MARSHALL TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Members of a volunteer fire department in Western Pennsylvania spent Monday collecting donations for charity.
The second annual boot drive raises money for the Easterseals, which provides education for children with special needs.
It’s a cause that’s personal to the Marshall Township Volunteer Fire Department.
“My son, who is now 7 and a half, about to be 8, started this school when he was 3 years old, has non-verbal autism,” said Lt. Jim Kenny of the Marshall Township Fire Department. “They say 90% of non-verbal never say more than one word and my son, he’s talking and he’s singing. He’s come so far.”
The fire department will be collecting donations again next Monday.
