Local first responders are firing up the grill for the annual Badges and Burgers event.
Badges and Burgers will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20, at Pittsburg Fire Station 1, located at 911 W 4th Street.
The meal includes a hamburger or cheeseburger, chips, a cookie, and bottled water for $7. All orders must be paid either in cash or by check made payable to the City of Pittsburg.
Orders can be eaten on-site with the first responders, or you can drive through via the West 3rd Street entrance at Fire Station 1. Delivery is available for preorders of eight or more. Call 620-235-0400 to preorder. All preorders must be placed by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 18.
Proceeds from the burger sales will be donated to the Children’s Advocacy Center. The Children’s Advocacy Center serves the children of the Pittsburg community. Their child safety specialists work closely with local support services and law enforcement agencies, such as the Pittsburg Police Department, to provide children with a safe, comfortable space for forensic interviews. The advocacy center aims to provide a child-focused environment to reduce the traumatic effects of child abuse, protect children from maltreatment, and investigate as a team.
