Suffolk shoppers should be ready with their change when they visit local stores, convenience stores and restaurants the next few weekends, because firefighters will be waiting with their hands — err, boots — out to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

The Suffolk Department of Fire & Rescue is asking residents to help them help others as part of MDA’s Fill the Boot campaign. Suffolk Fire & Rescue personnel will be out at a number of locations across the city with boots in hand seeking donations for MDA. The goal for this year’s campaign is to raise $80,000 on the local level.

Collections will take place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday the next three weekends.

The collection locations include both Walmart locations; both Chick-fil-A locations; both Farm Fresh locations; the 7-Eleven stores on Portsmouth Boulevard, Centerbrooke Lane and Godwin Boulevard (Chuckatuck); the Food Lion stores on Portsmouth Boulevard, Godwin Boulevard, Holland Road and Bridge Road; Kroger; Kohl’s; the Dollar General in Holland; the Duck-Thru in Holland; the Raceway on Portsmouth Boulevard; the Whaleyville Food Mart and the Speedway at 1129 Carolina Road.
