Volunteer: Support MemberOur support members are the backbone of our department. Support members assist with the countless hours of office work and behind the scenes effort that goes into the function of the department. These members are encouraged to participate in anything from fundraising to helping with paperwork to working in the thrift shop run by the auxiliary. In many ways our support staff are the ones who make it possible for our firefighters and EMS personnel to do their jobs. Our support member category is very accommodating in terms of who can participate and what that person can do. We have members who write grants, file state and federal reports, participate in our monthly fundraising events such as dinners and breakfasts, maintain our website and Facebook page, perform maintenance on the trucks and buildings, and work at the thrift shop selling clothes. Anyone is capable of volunteering with our department through this membership class. No one is expected to have experience we are more than happy to provide any training needed.
