The Bon Carbo Fire Department Auxiliary

The Bon Carbo Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary is a non-profit organization that operates on donations, fundraisers and occasional grants. It's main purpose is to provide meals for firefighters during large incidents; it also sponsors CPR classes for interested residents.
With donations, the auxiliary purchases food as well as equipment and supplies not covered in the district budget and also sponsors the annual Appreciation Dinner to thank our firefighters, auxiliary members and volunteers for their dedicated services. These donations are vital for our continued success, and we'd like to thank San Pablo Canyon Ranches, Randy Walk, Rob and Linda Defield, Penny Bieber, and Albert Martinez for their generous cash gifts in 2008!
To make a tax-deductible donation, please send your check payable to: The Bon Carbo Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary, PO Box 26, Bon Carbo, CO 81024.
Although cash gifts are our life blood, we'd also like to thank Jim and Chong Meyer, Brian and Kim Brickley, John and Mary Garcia and Filbert and Alice Garcia for their donations of firewood in 2008, which auxiliary members distributed to the disabled, elderly and sick in our community. (Apologies and gratitude to anyone we may have missed.) Thank you, as well, to those who have so generously donated their time and efforts to our organizaiton over the years. We can't do it without volunteers!
Fundraisers have included car washes and our annual Farmer's Market Bake Sale in mid-August, where you can pick up a loaf or two of Dave Harris' delicious homemade breads.
