Community fundraising & Support

The Good For Something Foundation's Helping Heroes initiative is dedicated to supporting first responders injured in the line of duty. This funding is particularly critical for volunteer first responders, who make up a significant portion of emergency personnel. Unlike their full-time counterparts, many volunteer firefighters, and auxiliary police officers, have other primary jobs to support themselves and their families. An injury sustained during service can have far-reaching consequences, not only impacting their ability to perform their volunteer duties but also affecting their regular employment, creating financial and emotional strain. Even minor injuries can disrupt their livelihoods, leading to lost wages, increased medical expenses, and prolonged recovery times. By providing direct financial assistance, the Helping Heroes initiative offers a vital safety net, ensuring that these brave individuals can focus on healing without the added stress of financial burdens. A small contribution can make a profound difference, empowering first responders to recover and return to their roles in protecting and serving their communities.
