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 volunteers. Volunteer emergency organizations save our community billions of dollars between saved wages and efficient operations. It also keeps healthy ways to connect and serve your community within you community.

...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. We've also made major commitments to knocking down barriers that keep people from volunteering. See our presentation from this Board of County Commissioner's meeting. 

... 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 year. On its own, it does not fund much beyond very basic operations. We bridge these gaps every year through grants, fundraisers and donations.

When you donate to us, you directly fund the service that responds to your rescue and first response needs. It keeps your volunteers (who are also your neighbors) responding to calls.
