Causes We Support
What We Do With Donations
Every time you donate to CCFR Community Outreach, you’re putting your money back into the community in a variety of causes.
Community Outreach
Central County Fire & Rescue
Backpacks of School Supplies
Since 2019, the CCFR Community Outreach has provided at least 100 fully-stocked backpacks of school supplies for local school children in need. It helps take some financial pressure off families and gets the school year off to a good start for the kids.
Kids Against Hunger
In partnership with Kids Against Hunger® of St. Peters, the CCFR Community Outreach is “feeding families around the world…and around the corner.” For more information, visit www.kidsagainsthunger.org
Weekend Meals for Kids
During the school week, our local schools provide free or reduced-price lunches to children in need, but there is still a very real need for these children to have a healthy lunch on the weekends. We help to provide weekend meals, ensuring their weekend is not spent being hungry or malnourished.
Scholarship Program
Since 2018, the CCFR Community Outreach has granted scholarships for one graduating senior at each of our five high schools, ranging from $500 to $1000 each. Scholarship recipients have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to community service, having volunteered throughout their high school years to improve our community.
Community Assistance
As we’re out in the community and see a need, we meet it. Handicap ramps, fixing/replacing heaters in winter, helping flood and fire victims with recovery, groceries for the single mom struggling to make ends meet, whatever the need may be we’re looking for the solution.
Coat Drive for Kids in Need
No child should have to go without a winter coat! Working with the elementary schools in our fire district to identify children in need of cold-weather clothing, we meet the need…no matter the number of kids needing help.
Community BBQ’s
Utilizing our specialized BBQ trailer, we regularly cater to the residents of our senior communities and extend our services to support numerous charitable endeavors year-round. From supplying delectable fare for events such as the Fort Zumwalt Grad Night Golf Tournament fundraiser to aiding various charitable organizations, our team is committed to working together to support our community.
