Grant Township Fire Department and Shelby Benona Fire Department will receive a $5,000 grant from the Oceana Community Foundation to purchase an inflatable fire safety house.
“These funds, awarded from the Oceana Youth Fund and the Gail Paulus Family Fund at the Community Foundation will support the growth and education of fire safety and prevention in each department’s coverage area, the greater Oceana County area and beyond,” states a joint press release from both departments.
“The funds will be used for the purchase and maintenance of an inflatable interactive activity house, utilized for fire prevention and fire safety education.
“The Grant Township and Shelby-Benona fire departments are dedicated not only to the safe response and recovery of fire and medical incidents but also the mitigation and preparedness for said incidents before they occur. Covering a large portion of southwestern Oceana County, it is our mission to provide the most accurate, efficient and safe care for all before, during and after incidents.”
The Oceana Community Foundation receives and manages contributions from people and organizations and has provided nearly $8 million in grants and scholarships back to the community since 1989. The organization awards grants through a competitive application and review process twice a year. Information can be found at https://oceanafoundation.org/grants/applying-for-a-grant/
