On Sunday, September 11, 2016, the Landrum Area Fire and Rescue District will conduct its annual observance of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks against the United States.
This year’s observance will take place at First Baptist Church of Landrum (300 East Rutherford Street, Landrum, SC 29356) from 6:00 p.m. until approximately 7:30 p.m.
As a symbol of honor and remembrance we are holding a non-perishable food drive and asking all to participate to refill the church pantries.
In addition, Landrum Area Fire and Rescue District will accept non-perishable food items to continue the District’s Backpack Program that helps ensure our area’s underprivileged children have food when school is not in session.
