While we have made meaningful progress in building relationships with local public safety organizations, our fundraising efforts have unfortunately fallen short of the financial resources necessary to sustain our operations.

We are now reaching a critical stage where community partnership is essential to continue moving forward. To meet this challenge, we are seeking assistance and collaboration from local professional, fraternal, civic, and community organizations that share our commitment to supporting those who protect and serve us every day.

Please contact us to see how your organization can help.

Individual donations can also be made by visiting our website.

Thanks!

We officially moved from winter mode to summer mode on the rehab unit today.

The propane tanks for the heaters were removed from the truck and replaced with 100 microfiber cooling towels, and a new cooling/misting fan. We have also loaded extra water and Gatorade. Bring on the heat!
