The Pink Heals fire truck and car, made a trip on Saturday to the Rowley Fire Department pork chop supper. The two vehicles were outside for residents of the town to enjoy before or after their meal.

The group set up a display that Pink Heals making t-shirts and sweatshirts with the Pink Heals logo available as a way to sponsor the program. The group also put together a video montage of the various stops the truck has made. The faces of those that they've visited light up with a smile, and that's why they do what they do.
