Due to unforeseen circumstances, a longstanding supporter of our organization has opted not to continue their annual donation, resulting in a significant impact on our ability to maintain our buildings and equipment.

As with all aspects of our operations, our monthly costs continue to rise while donations have decreased. To ensure our continued ability to operate effectively without depleting our reserves, we will need to implement bi-annual fundraisers.

We kindly request the continued support of our community to enable us to remain prepared to respond to emergencies.
