Help Support Angola Vol. Fire Department With Virtual Raffle

Due to COVID-19, many non-profits in Western New York didn't have a chance to hold their usual fundraisers in 2020 and so far in 2021.

Of course, that doesn't mean they still don't need that money to carry out their commitment to helping out the community.

They are made up of 100% of volunteers who operate 2 engines and 1 ladder truck. A rescue EMS ambulance, ATV unit, and Child passenger safety unit.
