This Memorial Day we want to commemorate our fallen heroes. Among the brave soldiers and other valiant lives lost that we take time to remember today, we also want to take time to recognize the men and women that are sacrificing their lives for us every day. Not only those serving in the US Military but also those that are serving us in our communities. In an attempt to show our utmost appreciation for our local fire department's volunteers and service workers, we are going to donate 20% of our proceeds from Friday, May 22nd through Monday, May 25th to our local volunteer fire departments.

Any sale made in-store or online will be included in the donation. We will be presenting the donation to the Winneshiek County Firefighter's Association on Friday, May 29th, 2020. Thank you for partnering with us this Memorial Day to help keep our communities strong. We wish you a safe and blessed holiday.

xoxo,

On Friday, May 29, 2020, the Broker Leather Herd met with our local fire department to make our donation from our Memorial Day Event.

We can’t thank our customers enough for making purchases throughout Memorial Day Weekend to assist us in donating 20% of our proceeds to our local volunteer firefighters. We are grateful to live in such a generous community; we know we made sales specifically because you wanted to donate to this cause. [Keep reading about how you can donate in the future.]

We are also thankful to have such selfless volunteers in our county that work diligently to keep us safe through their efforts with the fire departments. We hope that this small token of our appreciation can assist all the volunteer fire departments in Winneshiek County in their training and events.

We would like to salute the brave men and women across the country that sacrifice themselves on behalf of complete strangers. Even though we live in a small community, I [Brianne] did not personally know any of these men standing alongside me in this photograph. Knowing they'd risk their lives to save mine gave me the chills as Rachel snapped this photo. All of us have the utmost appreciation for those that literally run into the fire without hesitation, for those who keep the peace on our sidewalks, and for those who are trained to overcome the unexpected.

We would also like to extend a big "Thank You" to Zachary Kerndt for guiding us through the donation process. All are welcome to donate to our local fire departments at any time in any amount. The Winneshiek County Firefighter's Association is an organization that supports Winneshiek County Fire Departments collectively and every dollar makes a difference! Please feel free to message us and we are happy to put you in contact with Zach so you can learn more about this organization that we're so grateful for.
