Each of the three bases contributed to the less fortunate during the Christmas season.
The McHenry crew donated $300 that was earmarked for a holiday get together to the Crystal Lake Food Pantry. The food pantry has seen an increase of 160% in need in 2009 over 2008, feeding over 900 families each month.
The Fond du Lac Crew collected money and bought Christmas gifts for a needy family. The crew was able to collect nearly $400 for a family of three, which bought clothes, food, kitchen items, and plenty of toys for the young boys.
The Waukesha/Milwaukee crew held a food drive and delivered the collection to the local food bank.
