Households in this small borough along the White Horse Pike are getting a unique freebie these days courtesy of 2 longtime residents.
It’s a metal box about the length and width of an adult forefinger and inscribed in all capital letters with the trademarked word ‘INCASE‘.
The word - and the product - has a double meaning.
It’s to be used ‘in case’ of emergency by police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel and concerned neighbors who can find a contact phone list ‘in the case’ when it’s opened.
People can screw the tiny box, which holds an emergency phone number list, into the frame of their front door so first responders can easily access it in the event there’s a problem and no one is home or is so incapacitated they can’t open the door, said borough resident Jackie Souders, who developed the INCASE idea.
Last month, she and her husband, Bill, dropped off hundreds of the boxes at the borough hall and police station on Union Avenue where Stratford residents can pick them up for free. The couple also plan to give them away to households in neighboring Hi-Nella, a small town of 1,000 people.
April Ziegler, one of Stratford’s 7,100 residents, has already installed a box on her home’s front door and another on the door of her investment property.
‘It takes a lot of the stress away,’ Ziegler said. Read full article.
