On July 9th, 2024, our volunteers were able to go to a CPR session that we hosted in collaboration with the Morrisville Fire/Rescue Department. Thanks to the firefighters who were able to work with our volunteers, they learned life-saving skills that they are now able to use to help others in the future. This knowledge that was shared today provided an alternate perspective that we are very grateful for.
