Letter: Local Business Provides Christmas Dinners for Newton Fire, Police Departments

A special thanks to a Waltham business who provided Christmas dinners for local police officers and firefighters.

  To the Editor: On Christmas Day, the owners of NY Pie of Waltham spent their morning cooking up and delivering delicious ham dinners for all the firehouses in Newton and Waltham, as well as the police departments. Their only motivation was to express their appreciation for the service of our first responders.  It was heartfelt and thoughtful, and made this Christmas Day far more special to all those who took part.   Thank you NY Pie! --Jessica Locke Executive Director, Jessica Locke Firefighters Fund
