Silent/Live Auction Donation Form

Since 1956, the Ventura County Medical Resource Foundation, with the generous support of the community, has been able to provide student healthcare scholarships, dental and medical programs for children from low-income families, assessment and treatment for drug-exposed infants and children, chronic disease care and healthcare screenings to low-income seniors, and state-of-the-art medical equipment at hospitals and their ambulatory care clinics. Without quality healthcare, everyday life becomes daunting from taking care of family, to attending school or work, to being a productive member of the community.

 

We are asking for your help – many new items are needed for our Silent and Live Auction to make this event a continued success. Below is the Auction Item Donation Form, please fill out and return at your earliest convenience.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact VCMRF at 805 641-9800.

Built in 1982, this station supports our urban search and rescue (USAR) mission by inspecting and cataloging rescue rope and rope appliances and maintaining the USAR team’s potable water supply. The Somis Fire Station is staffed daily by three firefighters and houses an Engine 57; Brush Engine 357; a 500-gallon potable water trailer (“water buffalo”); Light & Air 57; and Utility Pickup 57.
