Supporting our Firefighter Charities

Save it, Share it, Send it!

We’ve all heard the phrase, “It takes a village”, when it talks about kids… but really, it takes a village for everything! And your village makes such a huge difference in how far you can go.

Back in the day you relied on your neighbors and your family for so much! The whole town would rally around someone that needed help and acts of kindness abounded. But nowadays, with horrible news and skeptical people who’ve been burned in the past, it’s a little harder to find quality help.

And I get it, especially when it comes to charities, I mean the FTC has a guide JUST for police and Firefighter charities because people would take advantage of our first responder name and misuse funds they had collected.

But your tribe of good people IS out there, and they really want your help!

So we’ve collected a wonderful assortment of Charities and Organizations that support our Firefighters and First Responders Families. Let’s take a look at some wonderful organizations that would love your help!

But first, how do you support an organization for firefighter assistance?

You might not always feel compelled to help charities with direct monetary donations, but there are many other ways you can assist them in their missions.

How you can help make a big difference:

👩‍🚒 share their posts on social media

🚒 email them and volunteer with any special skills (or just your time)

👨🏻‍🚒Purchase any products they make or give them items for a donation

👨🏿‍🚒 Make a donation in their name to a cause that both benefits you to raise awareness of their cause

🔥 Raise money in indirect ways, like a facebook birthday campaign, using amazon smile, or holding your own in person fundraiser at a local event.

👩🏽‍🚒 Sign up to donate on a monthly basis. This is the BEST way- especially if you love more than one organization. even something as small as 5 dollars can make a big difference when you give every month.
