On Sunday, November 27, from 9 am to 2 pm, Hawleyville Volunteer Fire Company will conduct a Fill the Boot Drive.

Members of the volunteer fire company will be out at the intersection of Routes 6 and 25, conducting their bi-annual Fill the Boot fund drive. This is their only fundraising event of the year.

Drivers are asked to be generous with their spare cash.

“Remember,” say organizers, “we are your neighbors who train year-round to answer the call in your time of need.”

One of five volunteer fire and rescue companies in Newtown, Hawleyville VFC has been serving the town since 1925. Its station is at 34 Hawleyville Road, where approximately 30 active members operate six pieces of apparatus, according to the company’s website.
