LENA — Country Financial Representative Steven Rothschadl announced the Lena Fire Protection District as a 2020 recipient of a Country Financial Operation Helping Heroes donation. Rothschadl recently presented the donation for $2500 to the department officers and directors to assist with the purchase of new portable radios and chargers for them to carry.

Country Financial will donate more than $3 million in 2020 to organizations and programs that support first responders, healthcare professionals and active duty service members, supporting the company’s vision to “enrich lives in the communities we serve.”

The Operation Helping Heroes program was created in 2015 to support non-profit events and programs that benefit active duty service members, veterans and their families.  In 2019, Country Financial expanded the program and donated $700,000 to approximately 500 first responder and military organizations.
