Dear Neighbor,

For the past 80 years, we have protected the lives, homes, and businesses of Avon as an all-volunteer fire department. Our firefighters, fire police, and support members take time away from their families day and night to help their neighbors in need. When a fire breaks out, a carbon monoxide or smoke alarm sounds, a motor vehicle accident occurs, a basement needs to be pumped out, or someone is locked out of their vehicle, Avon Volunteers are there to help. Last year alone, our volunteers responded to more than 700 calls for service and dedicated over 5,000 hours to training so they can be prepared when our community needs them most. That means that, on average, an Avon volunteer answered a call for help nearly twice every day — while also spending countless additional hours training, maintaining equipment, attending meetings, and preparing to respond at a moment’s notice.

At this time of year, we ask you to help us keep the Avon Volunteer Fire Department 100% volunteer. The majority of our operating expenses are funded through local tax dollars. However, private donations from Avon families and businesses are essential to helping us provide the equipment, training, and support necessary to maintain a highly trained and well-equipped volunteer department. Your contribution helps make it possible for our volunteers to continue serving Avon safely and effectively. More importantly, your donation helps preserve something special in our community: an emergency service staffed by your friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors who volunteer their time to protect you and your family.

We invite you to make a contribution to the Avon Volunteer Fire Department today and show your support for the men and women who serve our community selflessly by donating to the Avon Volunteer Fire Department today. The Avon Volunteer Fire Department is a non-profit 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. Your donation to the Avon Volunteer Fire Department is tax deductible.
