The Onset Fire Department's Box 5 Association will host two upcoming fundraisers in an effort to fill food baskets for local families in need this holiday season.

From Friday, Nov. 30, to Sunday, Dec. 2, firefighters will be camping out on the corner of Main Avenue and Cranberry Highway in Onset, and collecting monetary donations for the food baskets.

George Dionne of local band Sound Tower and Carl Wood will be playing music from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. 1.

If being out in the cold isn't your thing, Box 5 will host its second annual Fire & Ice fundraiser on Dec. 8, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., at Salerno's Seaside Function Hall in Onset.

Tickets cost $25 per person. A dinner buffet will be served. Various items will be raffled off.

Proceeds will help fill the holiday food baskets, as well as raise money for the association's scholarship fund.

Donations for the raffle are sought. To donate or to purchase tickets, call Mike Sanborn at 508-524-4787, or stop by the Onset Fire Department, 5 East Central Ave., Onset.

Information about the association's annual Polar Bear Dive fundraiser -- a chilly swim on Onset Beach on New Year's Day -- will be available at the Fire & Ice dinner. Get ready to get chilly!
