Drop 'Holiday Cards For Heroes' Off In Morris County

PARSIPPANY, NJ - U.S. Representative Mikie Sherrill is looking to spread some holiday cheer to retired firefighters this season and is asking constituents to help.

Those interested are being asked to drop off holiday cards for retired members of the New Jersey Fire Services at Sherrill’s District Office in Parsippany, 8 Wood Hollow Road, Suite 203, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Dec. 23.

“Writing a hand-written note to our retired firefighters is a small way to say thank you to those who dedicated their lives to keeping our communities safe and to spread some holiday cheer,” said Sherrill. “Visiting the Firemen’s Home was a highlight of my summer district work period. It is a wonderful part of our community, and I look forward to seeing the creativity and holiday spirit our residents bring to this program to honor our retired firefighters.”

Holiday cards placed in envelopes should not be sealed closed. The cards will be distributed to residents of the New Jersey Firemen’s Home in Boonton, the state’s only licensed healthcare facility dedicated to taking care of the women and men of New Jersey’s Fire Services.
