Fire District 3 Chief Steve Vogel and District 3 Capt. Bryan Swanberg accepted a check for $22,184.67 from Jean Janis, president of the Sequim Dungeness Hospital Guild, at the guild’s annual Christmas appreciation luncheon at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on Dec. 5.

Vogel said the district will use the funds for a UCapIt, a secure vending machine for district medications.

Guild members raise money by selling clothing and various items at their thrift shop at Second Avenue and Bell Street. Last week’s event is an annual affair where guild leaders thank their workers for their service.

At the same meeting, Donna Tidrick, president of Sequim Community Aid, accepted a collection of toys donated by guild members to Sequim Community Aid, a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency that helps those in need with electricity, housing rent/mortgage and/or water during emergencies.
