Kroger Cares Gift Cards

(3 Easy Steps to Help Raise Funds for R.V.F.D.)

Here's how it works:

1. PURCHASE a Kroger Gift Card from R.V.F.D. for $10. (It has a $10 balance on it at purchase.)

2. RELOAD your Kroger Gift Card at any Kroger location. (up to $500)

3. USE your Kroger Gift Card to pay for everything in your shopping cart at any Kroger Supermarket, at the pharmacy or for fuel for your vehicle at any Kroger Fuel Center. Your Kroger Gift Card can be used just like cash to buy food, merchandise, and fuel from any Kroger Supermarket and Kroger Fuel Center in the U.S. Your are not required to have a Kroger Plus Card to use your Kroger Gift Card, but you can save money by having one. By purchasing your Kroger Cares Gift Card from the Rutherford Volunteer Fire Department, you will help benefit the R.V.F.D. each time you use it.

HOW R.V.F.D. BENEFITS:

For every card purchased and every time a card is recharged, Rutherford Volunteer Fire Department will earn 4% of that amount.

October is Fire Safety Month & this year we'll be doing a Smoke Detector Drive. We're going to attempt to go to each home in our district & check, replace, & install new smoke detectors & batteries at no cost to the homeowners. Click here for a study done by the U.S. Fire Administration on the effects of smoke detectors in the home.

Also, check the "Resources" section of our website for links to some fun and educational pages designed especially for kids.

Rutherford Volunteer Fire Department is looking for a lot along Old Nashville Hwy area, on the north end of our district, to build a second station. Looking for something big enough to build a single/double bay building w/parking. Tell anyone interested to contact us at 907-4086. This will lower the residents' I.S.O. rating to a 5 from a 9 which will help lower their homeowner's insurance rates dramatically.

6/16/08

We will be competing in a F.D. competition Sept. 27, 2008. The Tn Ultimate Firefighter Challenge which also benefits the TN Fallen Firefighter Memorial. We have won this competition the last three years in a row. You can find more info at http://www.state.tn.us/commerce/sfm/tfaca Both competitions will be held at the TN Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Academy in Bell Buckle. We encourage anyone interested to attend & cheer us on. Both events are very family oriented.
