The Effingham Firefighters Association or the Effingham Firefighters Union Local 3084 has solicited me for donations. Do those funds directly benefit the Effingham Fire Department?

No. Both of these legitimate organizations have solicited funds in the past by contracting with a telemarketing firm for the purpose of raising money for food baskets for the needy in Effingham. While it is your decision to help these efforts, the Effingham Fire Department does not directly benefit from your donation, nor does the City of Effingham Fire Department endorse the solicitation.
