Downs Fire Department Donation

Oct 13, 2023


Midway Coop Association in conjunction with Land O’Lakes donated a total of $4,000.00 to the Downs Fire Department. 
Land O’Lakes is a regional cooperative that matches dollar-for-dollar cash donations from its local cooperative members like Midway Coop.  The donations are designed to help purchase fire equipment for the community.  Thank you to all firefighters, but especially those volunteers in our local communities. 
“This year with the support of Land O’Lakes, we donated a total of $4,000 to all 10 of our local fire departments for a total of $40,000 directly to our local fire departments.  Midway donated $2,000 that was matched by Land O’Lakes to all the departments.  We are proud to support our local fire departments and appreciate their commitment to our communities,” stated General Manager Craig Mans.
