How You Can Help our First Responders Now
Many residents have been reaching out to the City to see how they can help organize efforts to provide first responders with personal protective equipment, (PPE), other supplies or food donations.

Donations of food or commercially-made equipment, including N95 masks, surgical masks, protective gowns, Tyvek suits, gloves and face shields/eyeware are welcomed and may be made directly to our Fire and Police Departments.

For the safety of our employees, the City can only accept un-opened and unused products that are in their original manufacturing container or food that is delivered from a local grocery store or restaurant.   

To make a donation or for more information, please send an email to Fire Chief Pete Siebert or Police Chief Karl Walldorf . The City truly appreciates everything this community is doing in so many ways to help one another!
