Members of the Black Butte Ranch Fire Department spent part of their day on
Sunday, December 15, going door to door in Black Butte Ranch. They received 500
pounds of food and $135 worth of donations which they gave to the Sisters
Kiwanis.
The Fire Department and its Volunteer Association worked together during the
drive. Ryan Murphy, a student volunteer, coordinated the effort.
Although this is the first time the department has organized a food drive, said
Clint Burleigh, president of the Volunteer Association, "we would like to do
this annually -- maybe the weekend after Thanksgiving next year."
Burleigh guessed that there are about 500 full-time residents living in Black
Butte Ranch in the winter.
"We have a lot of elderly people who were going to donate anyway, and it saved
them a trip into Sisters," Burleigh said.
The Volunteer Association donated $50. The General Store donated a bag of
groceries. And residents were generous.
"It was so fun!" said Burleigh. "We would try to thank people, and they would
thank us!"
The BBR Volunteer Association will sponsor a Black Butte Ranch Christmas tree
recycling drive on January 4. To arrange a pick up call 595-2288.
