Last night’s buffet fundraiser at Alice Irene’s was such a success, and because of everyone who came out, ate dinner, tipped generously, shared our posts, and supported the Auxiliary, we raised $1,300!⁣
⁣
We are incredibly grateful for a community that continues to show up for our firefighters and helps make it possible for us to be ready when the next need comes.⁣

And a MASSIVE thank you to Alice Irene's Restaurant for partnering with us and providing an incredible meal for everyone who came out. Make sure you go support them and stop by their Community Market on Thursdays!

🚨 Just a little reminder before dinner time sneaks up on you…

We’ll be at Alice Irene’s tonight from 4:30–7:30 PM for our buffet fundraiser.

Come eat, support a good cause, and help us keep showing up for the Marionville City Fire Department when the next need comes. 🚒

🍽️ Tonight, let us handle dinner!

Join us at Alice Irene's Restaurant for our Marionville Firefighters Auxiliary buffet fundraiser and enjoy a chicken & fish buffet while helping us continue to support the Marionville City Fire Department.

Thanks to the support of this community, we were recently able to step up and contribute $6,000 toward new firefighter radios when the need became urgent. Fundraisers like this help us build those funds back up so we can be ready to help again when the next need comes.

📅 Tuesday, August 18
⏰ 4:30–7:30 PM
📍 Alice Irene’s

A portion of every buffet purchased + 100% of all tips benefits the Marionville Firefighters Auxiliary.

Come hungry, skip the dishes, and help us keep showing up for the firefighters who show up for Marionville. 🚒

❤️ This is why we do what we do.

Tonight, the City approved the purchase of new radios, with the Marionville Firefighters Auxiliary contributing $6,000 toward the cost.

We had already been raising funds through events like Tuesday’s buffet to help make new radios possible. But earlier this week, we saw firsthand just how urgent that need was when firefighters working a structure fire were left with little to no reliable communication on scene.

We didn’t want to wait.

So our Auxiliary voted to put the money forward now, trusting that our community would continue to stand behind us and help us build those funds back up.

That’s why Tuesday still matters.

Every buffet purchased and every tip given helps replenish the funds we just committed so that when the next need comes, we can be ready to step up again.

Our firefighters show up when Marionville needs them. We want to be ready to show up for them, too. 🚒❤️

A HUGE thank you to the Marionville Firefighters Auxiliary for generously donating $6,000 towards the purchase of new radios for the Fire Department, and the Police department. These radios will assist our firefighters, and make a huge difference in their ability to communicate in situations like the recent structure fire.

FUN FACT: Dinner tastes approximately 87% better when somebody else cooks it.

Okay, we made that statistic up. 😂 But we can tell you that Tuesday night dinner at Alice Irene’s helps support a very real need: replacing aging firefighter radios for the Marionville City Fire Department.

Join us Tuesday, August 18 from 4:30–7:30 PM for the buffet!

So basically: eat dinner, skip the cleanup, support your firefighters. Seems like a pretty good Tuesday to us. 🚒❤️

Our hearts are with the Crystal Anderson Harter family following the devastating house fire in Marionville yesterday.

We are incredibly thankful for the response of our Marionville firefighters and each of the surrounding departments who answered the call for mutual aid.

Most importantly, we are thankful that the family and their pets are safe.

Right now, the family has their immediate clothing and food needs covered, but as they navigate temporary housing, there is one simple need our community can help with:

🧳 Luggage, duffel bags & large travel bags

These will help them keep and transport their belongings while they are between places.

Donations can be dropped off at Bank of Billings in Marionville, or you can contact Angela Readinger to coordinate getting items to the family.

Buck Prairie Baptist Church will also be open at 11 AM tomorrow, August 12, to accept donations as well.
Address: 23154 Lawrence 2210, Marionville, MO 65705

An account has also been established at Bank of Billings for the Crystal Anderson Harter family for anyone wishing to make a monetary donation.

Their needs will continue to change in the days and weeks ahead. For now, this is one tangible way we can help make an incredibly difficult situation just a little easier. ❤️

Please continue to keep Crystal and her family in your prayers.
