MOOSIC, Pa. — “Ready, set, go!” -- With those three quick commands, the shoppers were off on a spree, tearing through the new Shoprite on Birney Avenue, all to benefit the Greenwood Fire Department just down the road.
With tickets for the shopping spree going for a donation of a dollar, this was a much-needed fundraiser for the fire department, which has seen its efforts to raise money halted by the pandemic.
“We haven't been able to run our fundraisers, and our two biggest ones are the Taste of Moosic and our bingo, and you know, like I said, the pandemic really hit us,” said Fire Captain Anthony Angeli.
