CLIFFORD, Indiana — Alisha Roberts Insurance Agency has announced Clifford Volunteer Fire Department as the June recipient of a $1000 pledge to local fire agencies that "Protect Those Who Protect Us."
The initiative honors volunteer firefighters who risk their lives to protect the community, often with limited resources while balancing full-time jobs and family responsibilities.
Funds from the monthly pledge may help offset the cost of essential equipment, safety gear, training, and operational needs. In many communities, volunteer fire departments have historically relied on fundraisers such as fish fries, serving breakfast, and community events, which have seen declining participation and revenue in recent years.
Beyond the monthly pledge, the initiative is also a call to action for the community. Each month, a different local volunteer fire department is recognized.
Community members who would like to learn more about how they can support their local volunteer fire department can visit agentalisha4u.com.
