On Tuesday, August 29 members of the East Stroudsburg University campus community took to the streets of the East Stroudsburg Borough to speak with residents about ways the university can work with residents to be good neighbors.

In its ninth year, ESU’s Good Neighbor initiative continues to spark conversation and allows homeowners and renters a chance to associate individuals with the university. 

This year, the team from ESU consisted of volunteers including student leaders, student athletes, faculty, staff, administrators, and police, who visited the various homes surrounding the campus.

Firefighting Has Become Big Business When It Comes To Raising Money

Firefighting has become big business when it comes to raising money.

Putting out fires is only half the battle when it comes to running a volunteer fire company.

One Monroe County department uses a culinary competition as one of its big fundraisers.

Paying for new trucks along with maintaining the old ones and this firehouse, equipment and training is no easy task but Blue Ridge Hook and Ladder Volunteer Fire Company seems to have it well managed thanks to help from the community.

Sarah Street Grill Owner/General Manager Christy Connolly says, "We’ve supported different ones over the years. When we finally connected with Blue Ridge, we worked well together and they were super helpful for us that day and appreciative. They showed up and they would make wing sauces and they got really into it as well so we kind of stuck with them."
