Club Honors Local First Responders
Upper Northwest Illinois Republican Women assembled 74 appreciation bags to honor Freeport's 28 emergency medical technicians and 46 firefighters and dispatchers during October First Responder Appreciation Month.
The bags, which were decorated with firefighter and EMT logos, were filled with a variety of homemade cookies, prayer cards, and special gifts. Recipients were thankful for the appreciation bags and asked club members to pray for their safety and morale.
