OCT 8TH, STONEWALL CHAMBER GROUNDS, Serving line will open at 5:00 PM.
You are invited to the 42nd annual Stonewall Fire Department Fish Fry Fundraiser!!! Not only is the fish fry a lot of fun, but as most of you know, it is our primary source of funding.
The Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department currently consists of 33 unpaid member volunteers that respond to both fire and first-responder calls. We cover 272 square miles and provide mutual aid to surrounding departments and counties.
With the ongoing growth in our community, the need for the services that your department provides are growing at a rapid rate. In 2021, we responded to 298 calls and, as of September of this year, have already exceeded that number. We work hard daily to keep up with the increased demand for our services and to provide the community the best possible protection and care.
As you can imagine, a nonprofit of this size and magnitude requires funding. In 2022, the funds received from the county cover less than 15% of our annual budget. All other funds must come from fundraisers, grants, donations, and memorials. We are a non-taxing entity, so there are no property tax assessments to fund the department.
Please attend the Fish Fry and have a good time!!! Share the news of the event on Facebook and with friends.
