"Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11."

🚨 UPDATE 🚨

WOW! You guys really showed up! Thank you all SO much for the incredible generosity and support you’ve shown us! We have received an overwhelming response to our donation request, and we truly cannot thank you enough. We are currently taking inventory of everything we’ve received and will be following up with those who have already reached out or left messages about donating.

At this time, we are going to pump the brakes on accepting any additional donations while we get everything organized and determine what we still need. We are so grateful for everyone who took the time to dig through their garages, basements, storage spaces, and homes to find items that could help us with our training. Your willingness to support our firefighters and invest in better training means more than you know.

Thank you again for your incredible generosity and your attention to this request! 🚒

🚨 Cleaning out your basement? Replacing an old appliance? Don't throw it away just yet! 🚨

The Galesburg Firefighters Association is looking for donations of old furniture, appliances, bedding, and adult clothing to help us create realistic training environments for our firefighters. We are currently looking for:

🛋️ Small couches and chairs
🪑 Tables
🧺 Washers and dryers
🔥 Ovens/stoves
🧊 Refrigerators
🛏️ Bedding
👕 Old adult clothing
*Looking for bigger furniture/appliances*

Inoperable appliances are actually preferred! These items will be used inside our training buildings during live-fire and smoke training, helping us practice in conditions that closely resemble the emergencies we respond to in our community. So before you haul that old couch or broken appliance to the dump, consider donating it to your local fire department!

📞 To donate: Call (309) 345-3791
🕖 Monday-Friday | 0700-1500 hours
🗓 Donations will be accepted through September 4th.
📍 WE ARE WILLING TO PICK UP DONATIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF GALESBURG.

Every donation helps us build better, more realistic training scenarios, and ultimately helps us be better prepared to protect you, your family, and our community.

Thank you for your continued support of your Galesburg firefighters!🚒
