Pipestone Ambulance Association DRIVE-THRU Annual Chili & Soup Feed

Equipment Fundraiser

The Pipestone Ambulance Association will be holding our 34th annual Chili Feed Fundraiser on Saturday, March 2nd, 2024. The 2024 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 1st to place a delivery order.
 
Our main project for 2024 is purchasing new hi-vis, reflective, heavy-duty EMS coats to replace our old, dark navy coats. The new coats are ANSI compliant, eliminating the need to add hi-vis safety vests over the coats. In addition, we are planning to replace several of our training manikins (airway, infant, OB, CPR, etc.) & equipment that is beyond repair. This training equipment is utilized at our monthly association meetings, drills, & additional skills & training session by our 34-member volunteer squad. Training is imperative to keep our EMS personnel  competent to continue responding to over 1,000 caller per year. We also use them when training the public, businesses, & other organizations.

Our local United Way of Pipestone County continuously supports us and has kindly allocated $1,300 towards our 2023 project 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, 2024. 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 9th. Please listen to KLOH/KISD radio and check the Pipestone County Ambulance Facebook page for information.

Please help us reach our goal of $18,000 for the purchase of the needed equipment for our 34-volunteer member squad & our community.
