The NVFC is pleased to team up with Nutella for the third year for the Nutella Stacks for Giving Back program. Thanks to support from Nutella and Pearl Milling Company, 10 volunteer fire departments will receive a $5,000 grant to fund resources and necessities. In addition, departments can be nominated for the chance to receive one of 350 Pancake Breakfast Kits to support their next fundraiser. A press release is attached to share with your audience.
