Our mailers are arriving! Check your mailbox!

East Limestone Volunteer Fire Department’s official fundraising mailer began arriving yesterday, October 20. If you receive one, it’s legitimate and it’s from us!

This mailer drive replaces our former door-to-door photo fundraiser. We’re excited to offer a convenient way to support your fire department without someone coming to your home to collect donations. We’ve eliminated the portion previously paid to the door-to-door fundraising service, keeping those dollars here with ELVFD.

We are 100% volunteer, and we need our community’s support. Please give what you can through the mailer or donate online here:

East Limestone, watch your mailbox!

We’re excited to introduce our official 2026 fundraising mailer, arriving over the next 60 days. This replaces our traditional door-to-door photo fundraiser and offers a simple way to give without someone coming to your home to collect donations.

The biggest benefit? 100% of your donation stays with East Limestone Volunteer Fire Department. Unlike the previous photo drive, we no longer share a portion of donations with a company collecting funds door to door.

This is an official department fundraiser, and we truly need your support. Our volunteers are your neighbors, friends, and family, ready to answer the call when this community needs us.

Please consider giving $50 or whatever amount you can. You can respond when your mailer arrives or donate today:

Please share this post so your neighbors know the mailer is legitimate and to be on the lookout. Thank you for standing behind your local volunteers!
