Payroll Deductions
In 2019, we established our Endowment Fund with a vision of creating a lasting charitable legacy for generations to come. Since then, our firefighters have contributed more than $175,000 through our voluntary payroll deduction program, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to our community's future.
Your business can help build on this legacy by offering your employees the opportunity to participate in a payroll deduction program. Together, we can turn small, ongoing contributions into a lasting positive impact for generations to come.

Clothing Bins
Our clothing donation bins help keep textiles out of landfills while giving gently used items a second life. Beyond supporting environmental sustainability, these donations generate a reliable source of revenue that helps fund local programs and community initiatives. With bins located throughout our community and at every DNV Fire Hall, it's easy to make a difference. Together, we're creating a greener, stronger and more resilient community!
