York, PA – The Greater York Professional Fire Fighters Association and Springettsbury Township Police Officers Welfare Association believe in giving back to the community in which they live and work. What better way then to help the YWCA Adopt-a-family program and giving several families in the community a brighter holiday season.

Mr. John Shapley, a member of the Police Officers Welfare Association, stated with the YWCA expecting a high number of applications this year, we believe it’s time to step up and help those that we have been sworn to protect and serve.

We understand the winter holidays are especially difficult times for many families living in poverty, as parents feel pressure to create a festive atmosphere while struggling to meet basic needs.

Mr. Scott Little, President of the Greater York Professional Fire Fighters Association, stated our Fire Fighters and Township Police Officers show the true camaraderie that lives between the badges this holiday season.
