I found this in an EACA newletter from last year
Thanks again to all who have contributed to FFF (Friday Food for Firefighters) You have seen the blurb each week in the newsletter but now I am writing to stimulate your summer participation. Summertime can be very full and time and energy may be going in numerous directions. That's all very understandable. During the winter your generosity overflowed, and meals were supplied to our Firefighters on a weekly basis. And, believe me, it was very much appreciated...as you likely witnessed yourself if you are a provider. But now that has diminished. If there is any way you can consider providing a meal to our firefighters on a Friday night this summer (and beyond), please consider doing so. The Firefighters have loved this attention and have so appreciated the food every Friday.
This past Friday I received a call from one of the team and had to say that no food was being supplied once again. If there is any way you can consider participating please do so. A meal does not have to be elaborate. It is whatever you feel moved to do. One week I ordered pizza for them when I was unable to cook. Another possibility is teaming up with others to make it easier all around.
I hope to talk to local restaurants to see if they will also participate. If you have the inclination, perhaps you could mention this to personnel at places you patronize. I can do the leg work with them if you hear a positive response. Please contact me with any questions, suggestions or concerns and thanks so much for considering being a participant and for those of you who have already given so
graciously.
