FMBA 21 Food Drive- Month of May
This year’s Food Drive, organized by Clifton Fire – FMBA Local 21 Firefighters Union, will run the month of May.
Clifton Firefighters (FMBA Local 21) are helping out the community this spring season with our annual Food Drive. During the month of May residents can drop off canned and non-perishable foods items at any of the six local city firehouses. The donated items will be packaged up and delivered to St. Peter’s Haven on Clifton Avenue. If any resident cannot get to a local firehouse, contact us at [email protected] to make arrangements for pickup.
We would like to recognize “Sign-A-Rama” for providing the display signs for the firehouses.
We have had great success over the past years with our Food Drive, Coat Drive and Toy-4-Tots Drive – Thank you to all those that have helped and we look forward to your continued support! As spring approaches, if you have a winter coat that your child will have outgrown by fall, please keep it aside for our Coat Drive in October.

The HEAD MUCKER IN CHARGE
Welcome to our muck-tacular team page for MuckFest® MS. This year, my team will be mucking it at MuckFest MS: New Jersey. Join us — the more, the muckier! To join our team, click on the “Join” button.
MuckFest MS is a mucky romp through mud and obstacles in support of a world free of multiple sclerosis. The run is pure athletic hilarity on a 5K course full of mud and outrageous obstacles. MuckFest MS is something that must be seen to be believed. So by all means, come out to watch or better yet, join us!
While there will be a lot of laughs and mucking about, we are also supporting the important work of the National MS Society in our community.
Support My Team and the National MS Society with a Donation
The “MS” part of MuckFest MS stands for multiple sclerosis, a chronic and often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. MS is unpredictable and affects every individual differently. Women are 2 to 3 times more likely to get MS, and it affects over 2 million people worldwide. This is the reason we come together — to rally friends in support of people living with MS in our community. That’s why 100% of your donation benefits the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Click on the “Donate” button to make a donation. Every dollar makes a difference.
Please note that any donation to the team cannot be divided among individual team members. Your team donation will, however, be counted in our overall team fundraising total.
Thank you.
Congrats Lt. Hollenback on your Promotion!

Today FF Pat Hollenback was promoted to the rank of Fire Lieutenant. He will serve the fire department on Engine Company 6 located at Broad and Van Houten Ave’s.
