Camas-Washougal Fire Department Needs Donations for C.A.R.O.L. Program

For the past 70 years, the C.A.R.O.L. program has helped to provide happier holidays for the less fortunate in the community through the consolidated efforts of service clubs, organizations, and individuals from the community.  Members of the Camas-Washougal Fire Department and East County Fire & Rescue coordinate donations and delivery of boxes full of food and gifts. 

Last year, thanks to the donations received from the public, donations were delivered to 82 families, which included 233 children. In addition, staff was able to provide three boxes of perishable and non-perishable food and gifts for children up to 16 years old.  This could not have been done without your help!

~There are several ways you can help this year~

In the hopes that this year’s program will be as successful as those in years past, the  C.A.R.O.L. committee is asking for your help.  Monetary contributions are needed and may be made payable to C.A.R.O.L., in care of the Camas-Washougal Fire Department, at 4321 NW Parker St, Camas, 98607.

Contributions of non-perishable food items and new, unwrapped toys or gifts are also greatly appreciated. In addition, gift cards and movie passes are also welcome and make great gifts for teenagers.  Donations can be dropped off at either of the Camas fire stations (616 NE 4^th Ave. or 4321 NW Parker St.) by Dec. 12.

If you know of a family in the Camas/Washougal area that could use assistance this year, please encourage them to signup for the program.
