With consideration for health and safety during Covid-19, Local 2195 will be hosting our boot block electronically this year. It wouldn’t be prudent to place our firefighters on the street corners interacting with thousands of citizens over the several days that the boot block occurs.
As many know, the Boot Block is a major contributor to Lee’s Summit Social Services (LSSS) and we still want our citizens to have the opportunity to keep LSSS funded. Instead of dropping money in the boot on the corner of 3rd and Douglas, you can make a financial contribution through Paypal to the Lee’s Summit Firefighter Charities.
