In the next week or so, you should expect to see our annual fundraising letter in your mailbox.
Let’s be clear. Our members don’t want to be walking around with our hands out all the time looking for money. It gets old very, very quickly. The fact is that we rely 100% on donations for EVERYTHING, from paying for utilities at the firehouse (electric and gas) to maintenance of vehicles, to mandatory testing of equipment (hose, pumps, SCBA), to repairs, and replacement of broken or outdated equipment. Without your donations, we simply cannot afford to exist.
We have sold off as many of our assets as we could to renovate a 100 year old firehouse to keep it safe and functional, but those funds have dried up and are not coming back. We took an oath to protect 100% of this community, yet we receive financial support from only about 30-33% of the population.
Without community support, our days are numbered. We understand that times are tough, we all feel that too. All we ask is that when that fund drive letter arrives, please consider giving whatever you can. The days of holding a bake sale to buy equipment are long gone and we need each and every one on you to contribute what you can to keep your fire company operating.
Remember, Pine Beach Vol. Fire Company will never solicit donations by phone and this fund drive is one of our primary sources of income.
