The North Battleford Part-time Firefighters Association is reporting they raised over $3,000 in their second annual sandbag fundraiser.
They raised money for three community organizations, with $1,000 each presented to Battleford & Area Sexual Assault Centre, Battlefords Interval House and JumpStart. All the funds raised stays in the community.
Their efforts were sponsored by Ken & Terry Construction who donated the sand and K&K Glass who provided the truck and trailer as well the location to make and store the sandbags.
The sandbags, which are approximately 50 lbs a bag, are still for sale at $5 a bag, and can be picked up at K&K Glass (1601-100th Street). Every sandbag was handmade by an NB Part-time Firefighter. Any accumulated funds over the summer will be added to a future donation for the community.
