Businesses, firefighters team to help the animals
Local businesses and firefighters gathered last month for the unveiling of Flagler Humane Society’s FHS Firehouse Collection Boxes.
Nine collection boxes were placed outside at both city and county fire stations, for pet-care items.
The idea was conceived by Kim Young, a volunteer at the shelter, and her husband, Ed, who retired from Miami-Dade County Fire Department.
Robert Busam, President of 100 Plus Realty Group, worked closely with Frank Massello, also of 100 Plus Realty Group, who built the donation boxes in the shapes fire stations. The Palm Coast Lowe’s store provided all the materials for the boxes, and its volunteer team assisted in assembly.
Palm Coast Signs added the finishing touch with signage that includes not only all of the logos of the supporting businesses, but also a firefighter’s helmet.
Local tots sing at hospital
Nearly 30 pre-kindergarten students from the Palm Coast United Methodist Church School came Dec. 4 to Florida Hospital Flagler to sing.
Led by schoolteacher Tina Scott, the 4- and 5-year-old children performed Christian songs for approximately 50 hospital staff members, patients and visitors.
“It’s not every day that we have such a large group of children in the hospital, and we are so blessed to have them come here to perform,” said Ellie Lenkevich, chief nursing officer.
“We’re thankful for our Pastoral Care department and the school team for working together to bring some holiday joy into our lives this morning.”
