@CentralYorkFire @cypffa @YRP Well done!

[CYFS @CentralYorkFire]

Have you ever dropped some change in a boot during our @cypffa charity boot drives?
Your donations go directly into your community to people that need it most.

Yesterday the Central York Professional Firefighters Association donated $1000 to the @YRP #HolidayHeroes Campaign. Along with many toys picked up around town (check out our previous post for the haul!).

We would like to thank our residents who made this possible, and encourage your generosity at future boot drives and CYFS events. 🎁🎄
