How We Help
Firefighters have a tough job. They’re constantly putting their own lives at risk to save others. But Atlanta firefighters need your help.
Since fire stations are in operation 24/7, 365 days a year there is a lot of upkeep. There's a great deal of wear and tear on their equipment because it's being used every single day.
Many of these “replacement” costs, like a new mattress, gym equipment, and washers and dryers are often not covered by the city’s budget. By coming together, we can connect to our community stations and give back to our firefighters that live here and work here 24 hours a day.
