Pipestone Ambulance Association DRIVE-THRU Annual Chili & Soup Feed

Equipment Fundraiser

The Pipestone Ambulance Association will be holding our 33rd annual Chili Feed Fundraiser on Saturday, March 4th, 2023. The 2023 Chili Feed will be held in DRIVE-THRU form at the Pipestone County Emergency Services Building located at 811 5th St SE in Pipestone, MN. Please look for signs & line up facing South on 9th Ave SE.
 
The drive-thru supper will be held from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM. Our menu will feature our great award-winning chili (mild or hot), amazing chicken noodle soup, grilled ham & cheese sandwiches, & dessert. Quarts of Chili & Soup will also be available to purchase for $5 each (preorders appreciated).
 
Delivery within Pipestone City limits WILL be available from 4-5pm, but we ask that you call us at 507-825-1170 before 5pm on March 3rd to place a delivery order.
 
Our project for 2023 is purchasing three new Stryker Stair-PRO stair chairs to replace our three aging stair chairs & three new pulse oximeters to replace the old ones that are in each ambulance. The Stryker Stair-PRO is a piece of equipment utilized in safely moving patients out of small spaces (hallways, bathrooms, sharp corners, etc.) & down stairs. It has a “stair tread” system to allow for controlled descent of stairs, making it far safer for both patients & the attending EMS personnel, reducing lifting & back strain. The pulse oximeters needing replacement are used on nearly every patient to measure the pulse rate & oxygen level of the blood, which the EMS personnel then use to help determine prompt treatment.
 
Our local United Way of Pipestone County continuously supports us and has kindly allocated $500 towards our 2023 project goal. Casey’s General Stores Charitable Giving has also generously donated $1,000 towards this goal.
 
We are requesting a donation of $10/ticket and hope that you will swing through for some GREAT food! Even if you cannot attend please consider sending a donation to help us raise the needed funds. A free-will donation would be appreciated for children and additional meals. The Pipestone Ambulance Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization & your donation may be tax-deductible. 
 
If you received a donation envelope in the mail, please return your donation and the completed name stubs in the enclosed envelope before March 1st, 2023. Your kind donation will enter you in a drawing for first aid kit door prizes. You need not be present to win, however, please bring your tickets for admittance to the drive-thru feed. The inclement weather reschedule date will be March 11th. Please listen to KLOH/KISD radio and check the Pipestone County Ambulance Facebook page for information.

Please help us reach our goal of $16,000 for the purchase of the needed equipment for our 27-volunteer member squad & our community.
