Volunteer Rescue Squad Fundraiser Shut Down In Va.

A volunteer rescue squad needs money for equipment and supplies for its ambulance after a weekend fundraiser was shut down.

Members of the Fredericksburg Volunteer Rescue Squad set up its fundraising signs and collection nets at a half dozen storefronts as part of its annual drive with a goal of $20,000 over the weekend. Before noon Saturday, police went to the squad’s headquarters and informed them they were breaking a city ordinance prohibiting panhandling and dangerous solicitation.

After calling off the collections, they learned they could have continued if they stayed away from the street.
