RecruitNY extends well beyond our annual Weekend. Recruitment is a year-round endeavor and FASNY has provided resources to help your efforts be successful. Use these downloadable items to promote an event (like a Fire Prevention Week open house) or just post these materials around town and online to encourage potential volunteers to step up and help. Now is a critical time in our nation’s history and an important moment to give those who want to give back the opportunity to help their community now.
