The Saint John Firefighters are calling on local business leaders to help support one of their longest-running community initiatives. For many years, the firefighters’ annual Ways and Means Christmas charity fundraiser has provided essential support to families struggling during the holiday season.
In a recent announcement on social media, the group highlighted the fundraiser’s history of providing food, clothing, and toys to dozens of local families each year. The program has traditionally been funded by donations from active and retired firefighters, along with a few dedicated local businesses.

Expanding the Reach to Meet Growing Needs
With the needs in the community growing, the Saint John Firefighters are looking to expand their network of supporters. They are making a direct appeal to local businesses to form new partnerships that will help them provide more meaningful support to even more families this holiday season.
This is a unique opportunity for your business to make a direct and positive impact on the Saint John community. By partnering with the firefighters, you can help ensure local children and their families have the essentials they need to celebrate the holidays.
