Churchtown Fire Co. #1 (CFC) &

                   Churchtown Firehouse Community Support Center, Inc (CFCSC)

Our Mission is to make our facility available to the public for community events, organizational meetings, fund raising events and any other such activities that benefit our community and the people of Columbia County. 


Additionally, our facility is a Red Cross Disaster and Emergency Shelter. If an emergency has forced you to evacuate your home, or disrupted your access to essential services, CFCSC may be able to help.

We have also partnered with Columbia Kitchen! Columbia Kitchen is dedicated to preparing and delivering nutritious, locally sourced meals, free of charge, to people experiencing food insecurity in Columbia County, NY. Columbia Kitchen produces 350 to 500 meals each day to reduce hunger in our community.  See volunteers in action in our Photos page.
