Whitewood VFD Fundraising effort
Some of you know that this past winter I joined our local Whitewood VFD
Auxiliary. Auxiliary is a background support group to our volunteer fire
department. When a call comes in we monitor the length of the call to provide
beverages/food that may be needed during the call or at the end of the call. We
also ensure the Fire Hall stays clean as it is used as a meeting place for many
different organizations in our community. Every month the department has their
regular scheduled meetings which we provide meals for. Each spring we host the annual Whitewood Easter Egg Hunt, in October we put on the Halloween Haunted House, and co-host the Festival of Trees.
Currently we are hosting a fundraiser teamed with Schwans Cares to raise
money to purchase an enclosed trailer to hall extra gear (i.e. tables, chairs,
coolers, mister, etc) to those longer calls. Our community reaches beyond our
town limits, with our Department covering other departments when they are called
out or providing backup at calls. Because of our “we’re all in this together”
functionality, this trailer will also be available in our surrounding community
as other towns have need for it.
I would like to invite you to help support us! The beauty of this
fundraiser is it costs YOU NOTHING and you can live ANYWHERE to support!!! 100%
of the donation comes from Schwans. So, how do you support you ask? Shop Schwans! Ice cream season is here and lets face it, their
ice cream is awesome! At checkout, just enter code 32987 and up to 40% of your
order will be donated by Schwans. This is a win win fundraiser support. You get
good food/Auxiliary gets a donation. 40% ($10) donations are based on purchase
of a $25 e-gift card (one per email address) and must be made by July 8th. Food
purchases are up to 20% of your total.
Thank you all for your consideration/support
of this very worthy fund raising effort. I am including the links to make it
easy for you to shop!
