The annual project ELFF, or Everyone Loves a Fire Fighter, holiday food drive will be this coming week in The Dalles and Dallesport, and volunteers are needed to make the event a success. Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue District Chief Bob Palmer says they need about 100 volunteers per night to help during the three night event, and people can do so by reporting to MCFR’s headquarters at 1400 West 8th in The Dalles each night at around 5:15 p.m. The ELFF Food Drive will take place Tuesday and Wednesday night in The Dalles and Thursday night in Dallesport. For more information on volunteering call MCFR at 541-296-9445. Those under 18 must have their parents fill out and sign a form before they can participate.
