The members of the Salisbury Professional Fire Fighters Association are helping to make it possible for Rowan Helping Ministries to provide meals for citizens in need. 
On Friday, Aug. 8, members of Salisbury Local 2370 delivered supplies to Rowan Helping Ministries. Fire fighters unloaded several truck-loads of canned goods to help restock the ministries’ food pantry.
“The fire fighters are always here to serve us during emergencies, but the fire fighters in this community are stepping up and serving beyond their call of duty,” says Rowan Helping Ministries Executive Director Mrs. Kyna Grubb.
The Salisbury Professional Fire Fighters Association has adopted this worthy organization in the city after reading about the need for more food at the shelter.
“We read about the needs of the ministry in the Salisbury Post and immediately knew we needed to serve those in need,” says Salisbury Professional Fire Fighters Association President Chris Haynes.
The Fire Fighters Association is challenging everyone in the city to step up and do whatever you can to fill this need.
“We are in need of all food, but especially canned and dried beans, canned corn and vegetables, and canned meats,” says Mrs. Grubb.
A small group of men and women cannot answer this need alone, we have to work together.
“The success of this community is solely based on what we as a community step up and do today and the fire fighters want to be a part of making a difference!” says Haynes.
