Let us grill lunch for you on Wednesday!

Stop by the Forest City Hyvee from 11a-2p on Wednesday April 29th to chat with some of our ambulance members and get lunch at the same time. We’ll be grilling up burgers and have sides and drink to go with it.

All the money raised will go towards the purchase of a new remounted ambulance. Did you know a remounted ambulance costs around $250,000 while a brand new ambulance can cost upwards of $330,000. As our ambulances age, we are working towards remounting them or replacing them as needed and our oldest ambulances are needing to be replaced over the next several years.

Just bloomed, a great sign of Spring!!
