Knoxville Township Rural Fire Department has adopted some families during the holiday season for the last four or five years. Chief Kenny Thompson says they are helping two families this year, with a total of six children. Knoxville Rural is seeking cash donations as well as toys and clothing for the families. Chief Thompson says the families are from the Knoxville Township, and drop boxes are at Knoxville Hy-Vee and at Thompson Service on East Main, if you are interested in helping the firefighters.
