OPERATION FORTITUDE
We at the exness nigeria Glen Haven Area Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary (GHAVFDA) are seeking your assistance in helping build a stock of supplies that will help our firefighters when they are called into action. When they are called up, we believe they need only to be concerned about their gear and the task at hand, not about nourishment and other things that help keep them going. That's where the Auxiliary comes in.
These items will be stored in airtight containers that are easy to grab and take to our firefighters on a moments notice. We will have containers to mix large quantities of drinks (i.e Gatorade, hot cocoa and coffee). We would appreciate any of the following items or other items of this sort that you feel they may need.
Cup of Soup
Oatmeal - individual packets
Hot Cocoa - individual packets or economy size
Gatorade powder - we prefer not to exness.africa.com get individual bottles as they will be cumbersome to store and transport
Coffee
Granola Bars
Energy Bars
Face Wipes
Hand Sanitizer
Blankets
Large plastic storage containers
Small plastic storage containers (size of a shoe box)
Igloo type water containers (5 gallon)
Large stock pots
Pop-up (for cover and shade)
Hand Towels
Commercial size coffee servers
Large plastic or metal bowls
Folding chairs and tables
Folding cots
Large foil roasting pans
Plastic pitchers
Cook stove
Aluminum foil
1 gallon plastic bags
Disposable gloves
Food handling disposable gloves
Plastic forks, spoons
Napkins
Individual condiment packages (mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, relish)
Disposable Bowls and Spoons - for oatmeal and other items that may come in
** OR if you prefer, you can donate Safeway Gift Cards so that we can get them food that we would not otherwise be able to store. We would be able to go to the store as soon as we get the call that the Firefighters have been called into action and buy them fruit, sandwich fixings, etc.
These items can be dropped off at the monthly Auxiliary meeting or you can call the number below to arrange a time to drop them off at the firehouse.
We thank you in advance for your help.
