When You Donate to Mountain Park Rescue Squad,
You Help Fund Your Own Community, ...
Our purpose is to serve you, often in your most dire time of need. Financial security enables our squad to operate with the best equipment with the best personnel.
...you Help Secure The Future of Emergency Services, ...
A large portion of our funding goes into recruitment and maintenance of both personnel and equipment. Even as volunteers, financial security is vital to making sure that there are people to respond today, and to make sure that people respond tomorrow.
... And You Invest Into Your Own Response.
Rescue Squads in Surry County are not funded by the fire tax or any other dedicated tax. The only public funding received is a small allocation each quarter. On its own, it does not fund much beyond very basic operations. The majority of our income comes from donations and fundraisers, followed by grants.
When you donate to us, you directly fund the service that responds to your rescue and first response needs. Your small contribution adds up to be our biggest support!
