Gibraltar Rock Celebrates the Season of Giving
New Hanover Township Fire Company’s firehouse on Swamp Road was the venue on Tuesday evening (December 14) for Gibraltar Rock to present a holiday turkey to each of the 68 volunteer fire fighters in appreciation of their hard work throughout the year.
Uday Patankar, Gibraltar Rock’s Vice President of Environmental & Public Affairs, commented that the Silvi Group Companies (of which Gibraltar Rock is a part) values the community spirit of the volunteers. “Last year, we made an abandoned farmhouse on Gibraltar Rock property available to the Fire Company and the police for training”, said Mr. Patankar, adding that the Fire Company plans to use the farmhouse again next Spring.
To celebrate the season of giving, Gibraltar Rock also donated 12 boxes (48 birds) each to the Salvation Army of Boyertown and Boyertown Multi-Service. Freed’s Supermarket of Gilbertsville supplied the turkeys.
