FirstFruits Marketing of Washington recently donated $20,000 to help support those affected by the complex fire in Chelan, WA. The donation was made to United Way of Chelan and Douglas Counties and will be used to assist families, individuals, and organizations impacted by the wildfire.
“We’re glad we can help with the wildfire relief and are thankful owners, Ralph and Cheryl Broetje, give us this opportunity to do so,” said Naomi Lule, CFO of FirstFruits Marketing of Washington and chair of FirstFruits Marketing of Washington Missions Commissions. “To us, this is about helping our friends and family in the community.”
