Elm rescue fundraise 2026

Join Elmwood Rescue for our Annual Fall Fundraiser!

Enjoy a great meal while supporting your local volunteer EMS service. The meal will be served for a free-will donation, and everyone is welcome!

This year, we are raising money to purchase a new power cot for one of our ambulances. This critical piece of equipment will help us safely move patients while reducing the risk of injury to our volunteer responders.

Free-will donation
Great food and community fellowship
Proceeds benefit our new power cot fund

Your support helps Elmwood Rescue continue providing dependable emergency medical care to Elmwood, Murdock, and the surrounding area. We hope you’ll join us!
