Dear Community Members, As we continue to move forward in 2020 our number one priority remains the safety of our members, our community and its citizens. Due to the ongoing pandemic we are sad to announce the cancellation of our annual Holiday Raffle. We did not take this decision lightly as we understand that this is a difficult financial time for many including the many dozens of local businesses that help make the Holiday raffle what it is. ... We cannot thank you enough for your past support of our annual fundraisers including our carnival and holiday raffle. Should you be in a position to financially support the Hilton Fire department, you may make a tax-deductible donation electronically via our website at https://hiltonfd.org/donate.html or by mailing a check (payable to Hilton Fire Departmnet) to 120 Old Holjack Lane, Hilton, NY 14468. We are always seeking dedicated, hardworking individuals looking to serve their community. Please check out our website www.hiltonfd.org/volunteer for more information. Please remember we continue to provide the highest level of professional service to the residents, businesses and visitors of our District. Our members remain ready to serve. Please stay safe! Sincerely, Greg Nichols / Mike Lissow Hilton Fire Department Vice President / Hilton Fire Department Chief
