Other than a monetary donation, what would be appropriate?

We are thinking about feeding them on meeting night, say KFC chicken and sides for one.

This department has touched our lives and we just want to show our appreciation.

Any better suggestions?

Home cooked meal. Set up and cook burgers for them before the meeting

Monetary donation in my opinion. 41 years in a VFD. Most smaller debts don't have money they can just spend on something. They can equipment and gas no problem. But things like tshirts or plaques for years of service might be looked at funny in an audit. Just call the chief and ask him what he thinks. Supper at meeting night might be nice.

They need money more than food.

Put somd effort into it.. home cooked meal would really show appreciation.. other than kfc and sides.. especially if it’s more than one family doing this.. everyone could pitch in a really shoe the appreciation .. from thd heart means more than from thd local fast food joint

I guarantee they need equipment in some shape form or fashion. You can donate it or fund raise for it on their behalf

Those cooling vests fattyfireplug posted the other day would be an ideal donation. And affordable so you could donate several

I have decided to go with a suitable monetary donation to show our appreciation for their dedication and service.

Thanks guys for all of the suggestions.

Back when OB was very small, several of us small businesses had change jars at the counter to help them out. The gift the enjoyed most was an ice machine.
