TAYLORSVILLE, Ind. - In January, Alisha Roberts State Farm Insurance Agency launched "Protect Those Who Protect Us," a new community initiative pledging $1,000 each month to support a local volunteer fire department. The July donation will benefit the German Township Volunteer Fire Department.
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.
Community members who would like to learn more about how they can support their local volunteer fire department can call Alisha Roberts at 812-669-2410, email her at alisha@agentalisha4u.com, or visit www.agentalisha4u.com.
