WALLOWA COUNTY โ Itโs not just fire that Wallowa Countyโs firefighters are fighting, but hunger too!
Community Connection of Wallowa County recently announced that firefighters from Enterprise, Joseph, and Wallowa departments raised $12,541.67 and collected 642 pounds of food during recent โFill-the-Bootโ fundraisers across the county. These donations will go to support the Wallowa County Food Bank.
In a social media post announcing the success, Community Connection wrote:
โThis support means the world to the families in our community who are facing food insecurity. The impact is real, and itโs powerful. To every firefighter who stood in the cold, every neighbor who donated, and every volunteer who helped coordinate… Thank you. Your kindness, commitment, and community spirit shine bright in Wallowa County.
