Firefighters Kick Off ‘Fill the Boot’ Campaign
Corpus Christi firefighters have officially launched their 2026 ‘Fill the Boot’ campaign, raising money for families in the Coastal Bend living with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular diseases.
Fire crews collected donations at major intersections on Friday, March 20, with additional collection days set for March 27. Local leaders joined firefighters to mark the start of the annual fundraiser, which consistently ranks among the top in the nation for donations.

Open positions included guest services, culinary staff, housekeeping, restaurant servers, bartenders, and more. Organizers encouraged applicants to come prepared for on-the-spot interviews.
With spring break and summer travel ahead, the hiring push signals a strong seasonal demand for hospitality workers downtown and along the bayfront.
