OSWEGO — On Tuesday, August 23, Menter Ambulance presented its first “Shirts for Charity” check to Blessings in a Backpack – Oswego Chapter.
During its “Shirts for Charity” campaign that started on July 12 and finishes up on September 18, employees of Menter Ambulance donate $7 a day to wear a Menter themed Hawaiian shirt in place of the duty uniform, and at the end of a two week period, Menter Ambulance matches all the funds raised by employees and presents a check to the recipient organization.
The first official check was presented to Blessings in a Backpack – Oswego Chapter. Receiving the donation check was Missy Russell on behalf of the organization. Paramedic Harrington and AEMT Shear of Menter Ambulance presented the check on behalf of President/CEO Zachary Menter.
According to Russell, “it takes approximately $80 a year to feed each child in the program, and this donation will go a long way in meeting our goals of providing for kids in our community.”
