As we celebrate our 1 year anniversary as an organization today we just want to say, thank you!! Thank you to the incredible community for supporting everything we've done in the last year! Everything from helping victims of tragedies to raising money for the fire department has been a success because of the great little town we live in!

Thank you to the Oakes Fire Department for the man power and support in all of our shenanigans! Without you we wouldn't be able to do as much as we do in the community!

Thank you to OEI and the Oakes Community Foundation for helping us get up and running. Your support allowed us to host Superhero Night, a Fire Families Holiday get together, the Irrigation Days Breakfast Feed, and Back to School night! Not to mention supporting families in time of need! Your support of start up funds made it possible for us to do so many incredible things in our first year!

And last but not least, thank you to the ladies who have volunteered their time this past year to make everything we've planned so successful! We would be nothing without our members❤️ Enjoy the photos below!

Good Morning!! There has been a few questions about donations from those that cannot get to Oakes! This Venmo is our Auxiliary Venmo that is attached to our Fire Victims account and once the family is ready, those funds will be distributed to them.

Use Venmo to connect with Oakes Fire Auxiliary () - We are a nonprofit organization that provides support to our local fire department and victims of fires in our community.
