Twelve-year-old Jacob Smith of Laneview raised $492.84 for the Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) by selling snow cones at The Boatyard at Christchurch this past Saturday.
Jacob is the son of Henry and Christina Smith and is a rising seventh grader at St. Clare Walker Middle School. Jacob’s father manages The Boatyard at Christchurch, where a “boatel” fire on Feb. 15 broke out inside the marina’s boat storage facility.
“Jacob is aware of the importance the role of the fire department plays in the community,” said Christina.
“I just wanted to do something nice for the community,” said Jacob. “Firemen are important people and I wanted to give something to them to help them.”
