I’m excited to share some fantastic news for our community. The Ottine Volunteer Fire Department in Gonzales has been awarded a $10,000 grant through the Good Neighbor Firefighter Safety Program, a partnership between State Farm and the National Volunteer Fire Council. This program provides 150 grants of $10,000 each nationwide to help volunteer fire departments secure essential equipment that enhances firefighter safety, effectiveness, and efficiency, and enables them to better serve their communities. Ongoing support from State Farm ensures these departments have the resources they need to protect their teams and the people they serve.
As a local agent, I am honored that State Farm is recognizing the dedicated volunteers who risk their lives to keep our community safe.
