The members of the Bergen County Firemen's Home Association met at the Harrington Park Fire House in January to start the stuffing of the envelopes for the fundraising efforts of the organization. Monies raised by the fundraiser help pay for entertainment, refreshments, the food for the barbecue, gifts to the residents and for items that residents might need.

We then held our first meeting of the year on February 15^th, 2026 and it has been a good start to the year. Donations have been coming in from Bergen County Fire Department’s and their continued generosity has been valued. We are trending ahead of last year so far and appreciate the support we always get for our fundraiser.  

We talked about the plans for the upcoming summer barbecues, the Christmas Party in December, which seems to come faster and faster and talking at the Bergen County Caucus in August, where we want to spread the word about our organization and the benefits joining the organization does.

After the meeting was over, we joined the residents in the main hall to enjoy the entertainment and refreshments. Crowd pleaser, Gigi, entertained the residents with a series of uplifting love songs and ballads during the Valentine’s Day weekend.
