When Port Huron resident Cathy Solomon suffered from a heart attack, she remembers the care and support she received from local first responders. Now, she and the members of her neighborhood watch group want to show their gratitude.
On Tuesday, February 2nd, 2/2/21, the Seaway Neighborhood Watch group invites the community to join them by turning their porch lights on for first responders. They hope this show of support lights up the city as people turn their lights on at 6 PM and leave them on till morning.
Blue has traditionally been the color for first responders, so adding a blue light bulb to your front door could be an added sign of encouragement to police, fire department, and ambulance workers.
“It’s been such a tough time for everyone, and I thought this would be such an incredibly wonderful thing. We still have so much to be grateful for, and these people that come out and do these jobs, they’re a great place to start showing it!” said Cathy. “We could all use a little more light in our life.”
