Tonight at the Epworth Fire Station. Health Professionals from the Dubuque VNA will be on hand to answer questions and administer the vaccine if you or a family member are in need. Stay safe.

We've added an Elkader clinic! With confirmed measles cases in neighboring counties, please check your MMR vaccination status and remain alert for symptoms of measles. The UnityPoint Health - Visiting Nurse Association is offering free measles vaccines at these walk-in clinics around Dubuque County!

The Epworth Fire Department was very fortunate to be picked as one of the recipients by this wonderful group of hardworking kids (and adults) from their annual lemonade stand. They visited the fire station yesterday and dropped off a $1,000 donation. We are in the process of replacing/upgrading several sets of firefighter protective gear so this donation will be earmarked for that. Thank you to all involved! We enjoyed having you swing by the station!! Great work raising a total of $4,750 selling gallons of lemonade, homemade bracelets as well as homemade cookies!!!

We are excited to partner with Qtego Fundraising Services to offer an online auction option this year. This allows people to support the auction even if they can’t attend due to sporting events, family events, work, or other commitments.

This is the same user-friendly auction platform used by the Western Dubuque Athletic Booster Club, and it is simple and hassle-free!

EFD members will also be available during the event to help anyone get registered if needed.

Please note: You can still pay for items that night with check, cash, or Venmo if you prefer, but payment arrangements must be made before the end of the day on July 10th.
