We would like to express our gratitude to the firefighters that protect our communities and National Forest on the west side of Prescott. Central Yavapai Fire District Station 51 serves the subdivisions of Highland Pines, Wildwood Estates, Pine Lakes and other west side areas. The City of Prescott Fire Stations 71 and 72 support the west and south ends of Prescott, as well as rural and National Forest areas.
Our community appreciation goal is to present all 3 shifts of these 3 fire stations with a $25 gift certificates from the Prescott Chamber of Commerce - a funding goal of $1100.
Our simultaneous goal is to provide short term financial support to local businesses struggling through the COVID-19 crisis. Many businesses such as restaurants, bars and theaters are operating at reduced capacity and have higher operating costs due to COVID-19 restrictions. Federal assistance from the CARES / small business PPP have dried up, and it may be months before new Federal assistance reaches these businesses. Purchasing gift certificates from these businesses provides critical supplementary cash flow during this very difficult period. This donation will be used to purchase gift certificates for our local area Firefighters, which will then be redeemed by local businesses. With your support we can begin distributing these certificates to more front-line workers.
