Raise awareness and help equip first responders

While the ultimate goal is for farmers and grain handlers to avoid entering grain bins altogether, the reality is that entry still occurs. That’s why it’s essential to ensure first responders are properly trained and equipped to handle grain entrapment emergencies. Through your generosity, you’re not only supporting your local fire department and community — you’re helping save lives.
