November 2021

The Belleville Fire Department is looking for any and all working holiday lights, timers and extension cords you may no longer want or need. We are going to collect them for the Merry & Bright Event in December!
We need donations so we can light up as many trees in the park as possible. Please drop off any of these items on Mondays after 4:00 p.m., or any time we are at the station. If you cannot make Mondays work, message us and we will try and pick them up. We will also look for these items after the holidays so we can prep for next year!

Whether you have children or not, your life is negatively affected by the national child care shortage. Did you know nearly 3 million women have left the workforce since the pandemic began, with many forced to leave because of lack of childcare? If you don't have children, you may not have been aware there was a problem, but have you noticed all the signs at restaurants and other businesses of the altered hours or delays due to staffing shortages? The lack of childcare is one of the main culprits.
