Scotch Plains Volunteer Rescue Squad Auxiliary Pancake Breakfast

Donations Needed for Gift Baskets

The Scotch Plains Volunteer Rescue Squad Auxiliary is gearing up to host another amazing Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, February 22, 2026. To help make this annual get-together even more fun and exciting, donations are being collected for gift baskets that will be auctioned off during the event.

Only new items will be accepted, and no shoes, clothing, or stuffed animals are needed. Please consider donating items for inclusion in the following themed basket prizes:

Baking – Wellness - Gardening - Sports - Pets - Health - Children - Scrapbooking - Coffee/Tea - Comic Books - Arts and Crafts - Italian Dinner - Games – Vacation – Holiday Items and Crazy Socks. Baskets and ribbon would also be very much appreciated.

We also encourage donors to create their own gift baskets using the themes above. This would be a great project for a family, a scout troop, or other groups looking to contribute to this worthy fundraiser.

The Auxiliary will be collecting donations on the following dates at the Rescue Squad building at 1916 Bartle Avenue, starting January 27, 2026, through February 14, 2026, on Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.

The Scotch Plains Volunteer Rescue Squad Auxiliary meets once a month, and its grassroots function is to assist the Squad in many capacities – from attending town functions such as street fairs, concerts, and holiday events to connect with the community and promote Squad interests to holding fundraisers and performing outreach to squad and fellow auxiliary members.

If interested in becoming a member of the Auxiliary, come by the Squad building one evening to pick up an application, or email SPRSAuxiliary@scotchplainsrescuesquad.com.

Thank you for your support!
