We are from a small area and do multiple things to raise money for the department. We have monthly breakfasts in the community. We also serve food at the local fairs and festivals and host our own labor day. Our Ladies Auxiallary host bi-weekly fish fries. This helps pay for our trucks, gear, training, and ect. since we don't have significant funding coming into the community.
