A local football team is seeking equipment donations after their inventory shed caught on fire.
On the morning of Sunday, October 19th, the West County Football Association were a victim of a shed fire, during the incident roughly $120,000 of equipment was destroyed. This includes items that dress the players from their helmet to their cleats, not only did they lose player apparel but they also lost many items that players would use for practice and items for gameday, and their AED machine.
President of the club Erin Schroeder says that they have a lot of ground to cover before the pewee season starts in the Spring.
“It’s heartbreaking, we have nothing for the peewees.”
The club has been in contact with the Town of Wembley to address the situation and to see what the next steps are towards receiving funding.
If you would like to lend a helping hand, or have extra gear or equipment lying around, you can checkout their Facebook page for updates, or email [email protected].
