Make a Donation
Eureka receives the majority of it's funding from
the generous contributions made from the local citizens we
protect. We run many fund raisers each year to provide the
equipment we need to protect your life and property.
Running a fire company is an expensive business.
We do not receive much in the way of tax money for our
operations. We rely heavily on fund raising to take care of our
needs.
If you would like to make a monetary donation to
Eureka, we are non-profit so your deduction may be tax
deductible (please consult your tax accountant or financial
advisor to be sure). Checks can be mailed to our station address
listed below.
Make
checks payable to Eureka Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Company.
We also can consider donations of non-cash items. Please contact
the station with what you have in mind.
We
never turn down your fine baked goods!
