Bay City Volunteer Fire Department made Christmas special for two local families by raising over $1,000 for a Walmart shopping spree. Firefighter Libbie Cruz, who participated as a child, continues the tradition. The department collects donations year-round, matching contributions to provide groceries and gifts. This year, extra donations allowed the five children to get more toys, clothes, and shoes. During the shopping event, a passerby was so moved by the firefighters’ efforts that he added $100 to their funds on the spot, highlighting community generosity.
