Donate A Toy To A Needy Child This Holiday Season

San Carlos Park Fire District will continue a more than 30 year tradition this year with our Annual Secret Santa Program. Each year friends, neighbors, and your local fire district join together to collect toys to wrap and distribute to members of our community who need assistance.

This year, 36 needy families with a total of 104 children have been selected to receive gifts and a holiday dinner. Those interested in donating to the program may drop off new, unwrapped gifts at any of our fire stations. Thank you for your assistance in assuring each of our citizens have a happy holidays!

SANTA’S MAILBOX OPEN FOR BUSINESS AT SAN CARLOS PARK FIRE DISTRICT’S THREE STATIONS

San Carlos Park Fire District has made special arrangements with Santa Claus for our fire stations to be drop-off sites for letters to Santa Claus! Bring your children to drop off their letters in Santa’s Mailbox located at any one of our fire stations:

Santa loves to get letters from boys and girls who have been good all year long!  Make sure to include your child’s name and address on each letter and San Carlos Park Fire District will ensure each child receives a personalized letter from Santa.

Blue Mass to Honor First Responders

Our Lady of Light Catholic Community will host a Blue Mass to show the community’s gratitude for and support of local Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, and First Responders. All community members, First Responders, their families, and friends are invited to attend.
 
A Blue Mass is celebrated in the Catholic Church for those employed in the public safety field. The color blue relates to the blue uniforms predominately used by these services. The mass honors those who have fallen in the line of duty and those currently serving, and gives the community an opportunity to show gratitude for those who serve so courageously, as well as their families, who risk so much so others can live safely. The first Blue Mass was held in Washington, DC in 1934 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.
 
The mass will feature static displays of apparatus from Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Lee County Emergency Medical Services, San Carlos Park Fire District and other local fire departments, as well as the presentation of colors by the Public Safety Honor Guard. Light refreshments will follow the mass in the Parish Center. Join us tomorrow evening at 6:30.
