“Protect Those Who Protect Us” June Pledge Supporting Clifford Fire Dept.

In January, Alisha Roberts Insurance Agency launched the
“Protect Those Who Protect Us”, a new community initiative pledging $1,000 each month to support a local volunteer fire department.

This initiative has helped five other area volunteer fire departments this year, the most recent being Hope Volunteer Fire
Department. The June 2026 pledge will benefit the Clifford Volunteer Fire Department.
The initiative honors volunteer firefighters who risk their lives to protect the community,
often with limited resources while balancing full-time jobs and family responsibilities.

Funds from the monthly pledge may help offset the cost of essential equipment, safety
gear, training, and operational needs. In many communities, volunteer fire departments
have historically relied on fundraisers such as fish fries, serving breakfast, and community
events, which have seen declining participation and revenue in recent years.
Beyond the monthly pledge, the initiative is also a call to action for the community.

Each month, a different local volunteer fire department will be recognized.
Community members who would like to learn more about how they can support their local
volunteer fire department are encouraged to contact Alisha Roberts at (812) 669-2410,
