Annual
Fundraiser
The Katy Volunteer Fire Department holds
an annual fund-raiser in the form of a fajita dinner and auction
during the month of October. Traditionally, current and past members,
friends, family and extended family of the fire department put
forth long hours of intensive labor. Some members involved will
gather items to be auctioned off during the dinner, raffled off
for a door prize, or put up for silent auction. Others will prepare
the food to be served by cleaning, cutting and marinating the
meat, cutting onions, cooking the meat and other food items. Chicken,
rice and beans, and all other trimmings are included. Homemade
deserts prepared by our ladies auxiliary are also available to
those with a sweet tooth and still have room for a bite or two.
We will even pack you a dinner plate loaded to the hilt.
All persons involved donate time and
energy to a great cause. Community stores donate or sell food
or auction items at or below cost. As items are being gathered
for the event tickets for the raffles and dinner are being sold.
$10 gets you an all you can eat dinner for an adult and $5 for
a senior citizen or child. You may also purchase tickets at the
door.
Annually the volunteers decide where
the proceeds of the fundraiser will be allocated. In the past,
KVFD purchased the safety trailer, which is displayed under Public
Education on this web site. Also purchased in years past are equipment
and supplies such as fire gear, air packs, hose and other essential
tools used in the fire service. From the explorer that pours a
cup of tea to the citizen who purchases that last auction item,
the support of all involved is greatly needed and appreciated.
Come join us and find out what we mean
when we say “You’ll love Katy!”
