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.
