The Christian County Rescue Squad relies heavily upon fundraisers and donations to operate and will look to the public for help again Friday.

Rescue Squad Chief and Christian County Emergency Management Director Randy Graham says there will be a Chili Dinner Fundraiser Friday afternoon from 4 until 7pm at the Second Baptist Church Activity Building on W. 7^th St.

Graham says the Rescue Squad does receive some state grant, but those are more sparse than ever and extremely difficult to obtain. Main funding sources are the United Way, Fiscal Court and the public.

Once again, that chili dinner is Friday afternoon from 4 until 7 at the Second Baptist Church Activity Building.
