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.
Didnt Salisbury Fire Chief do this to the Local 4246 with the Fill The Boot fundraiser they do?
