How We Serve
First Responder Support
Our firefighters, police, and EMTs are indispensable to keeping our communities safe. Many perform their dangerous jobs without critical equipment and resources in departments that are underfunded.
Our Bravest Are Overstretched & Undervalued
The Emotional Toll
Constant Vigilance & Compounding Trauma
Our First Responders are exposed to life-threatening events and the aftermath of tragedy every day. This accumulated stress can lead to lasting impacts such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression.
Their Lives On The Line
Without Critical Equipment & Training
Insufficient resources can compromise the ability of our heroes to effectively respond to emergencies. In addition to endangering their lives, entire departments can feel overstretched and undervalued for the selfless sacrifices they make every day.
Many Are 100% Volunteer
Community members dedicate their time and skills to ensure public safety and emergency response without financial compensation.
Too Proud To Ask For Help
Driven by a strong sense of duty and self-reliance, many First Responders silently bear their burdens without reaching out for support.
Pressure On The Whole Family
The intense stress doesn't stop at the end of their shift. Their families often share in the strain caused by their high-stakes work.
Government Programs Are Not Enough
The challenges and needs of our first responders are complex, requiring additional support to fill the gap.

Officer Michael Flamion
“Thanks for giving a little bit of my life back.”
I still can't believe it's our house. It's absolutely beautiful. I can't believe somebody would step in and do that for us. It just blew my mind. I can't thank the Gary Sinise Foundation enough. I can't thank the donors enough.
