๐ Special Thank You from the Hamlet Fire Department ๐
The Hamlet Fire Department would like to give a special thank you to Firefighter Justin Miller for his incredible heart for our community. Justin had the idea to launch โHopes for the Holidaysโ and didnโt just suggest itโhe took it and ran with it.
With the help of many Hamlet Fire Department members, along with their wives and girlfriends, countless hours were spent gathering donations, shopping, organizing, and making sure this mission was a success. We are incredibly proud of the teamwork and dedication shown by everyone involved.
Because of this effort, 17 families and a total of 44 children were served this holiday season. โค๏ธ
We would also like to extend our deepest thanks to the members of our community who stepped up to support this cause. Without everyone coming together, this would not have been achievable.

โข Rannells Funeral Home
โข Lutheran Church in Hamlet
