Residents of Tillsonburg can swing by the local Sobey’s this afternoon to get their cars cleaned by the team from Oxford County Paramedics Services.
TILLSONBURG – Folks in Tillsonburg can head over to the local Sobey’s on Friday afternoon for a car wash hosted by staff from the Oxford County Paramedic Services.
This event supports the Children’s Aid Society of Oxford County.
Ben Addley, Chief of Oxford County Paramedic Services, mentions that whether you’re shopping or just passing through, they’ll be collecting donations for one of CAS Oxford County’s charities.
“It will be our paramedic staff at the Tillsonburg Sobey’s on Broadway Street, and I believe it’ll be from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock in the afternoon, and they’ll be doing a carwash. For anybody who comes, whether they’re shopping or just want to come by, and we’ll be accepting donations and 100% of those donations will be given to the Oxford County Children’s Aid Camp For Kids campaign. We have done this in the past; it was a very successful year last year.”
The fundraiser brought in over $1,200 last year. This time around, they aim to raise more than $1,300.
The paramedic team shows their dedication to the community not only through their service but also by participating in local activities. Addley says that being part of these events highlights their commitment to giving back.
“It shows the commitment that our staff certainly have to the communities that they serve, many as residents and many as paramedics that work in the community and they want to make sure they give back and support the community. We know that we get a fair bit of support from the community. Personally, we hear it from people; we know that people appreciate the service we deliver and I think they want to make sure they’re more involved and support the community in many different ways and this is one of those.”
The car wash runs from 12:00pm to 6:00pm.
