The
MFA Oil Foundation has awarded a grant to the Atlanta Volunteer Fire Department
to assist with purchasing 2 Garage door replacements. The new doors will allow new, larger
equipment to be stored at the station to better serve the fire safety needs of
local communities.
“We appreciate the work of MFA Oil in assisting our small-town
department in this way. These new doors will help us put equipment in the
station that is currently stored offsite because of size. We also want to think
our board chairman for processing the grant application,” said board member
Aaron Baker. “Volunteer fire departments are only as strong as the folks that
are serving them and we are proud to have a good program here in Atlanta.”
The MFA Oil Foundation provides support to nonprofit
organizations that are working to improve communities where MFA oil has a
significant concentration of members and employees. Since it was established in
1998, the MFA Oil Foundation has awarded more than one million dollars in
grants.
MFA Oil President and CEO Mark Fenner described the MFA Oil
Foundation as “a program that allows our company to give support back to the
rural communities that are the foundation of our business. The grants the
Foundation awards help support many youth programs and organizations active in
addressing and solving community problems and improving the quality of life.”
