The New Sharon Volunteer Fire Company #1 has received an email from the office of Congressman Robert Andrews stating the IRS has let us know that the New Sharon Fire Company has been granted 501 (c) (3) status. A letter dated 8/16/11 from the IRS has been sent to the Fire Company at PO Box 5194.

This accomplishment has put the company in a better position in the rebuild process.  Applying for a loan is now in the process. Once the loan is secured the rest of the process will fall into place and progress on the building will be seen by all. 

After a great showing for our annual "Hog Wild" fundraiser at Adelphias the New Sharon Volunteer Fire Company would like to thank those for everyone who came out and supported us. This was our second time doing something of this nature, and with the help of everyone it was a huge success. I hope that everyone had found their dinners delicious! Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support!

Deptford held their National Night Out at the Target Store.  946 participated in this event along with the rest of the Deptford Fire Department. 

We have designed a new shirt for the company. The design was done by Excel Sportswear in Trafford, Pa.  We have gotten our shirts done by them the last time and decided to use them again.  The shirts shall be in soon. They will be placed in our store once recieved and thru any member of the company. We thank Excel Sportwear for the design and hope you like it too.

The New Sharon Fire Company participated in Wenonah, Pitman, and Runnemede Fourth of July parades.  The company took Command 940 and Engine 942 while the career staff used Quint 946. The members of the New Sharon Volunteer Fire Company hope that you have a safe holiday weekend!
