equipment helps

Donated equipment helps strengthen emergency services agencies impacted by disasters and those serving communities with limited resources. From replacing disaster losses to supporting rural departments with aging equipment, donated gear helps ensure responders have the tools they need to serve their communities.


When disasters damage or destroy equipment, donated resources can help agencies recover and return to service more quickly.

Many small departments operate with limited budgets and aging equipment. Donations can help improve safety, readiness, and operational capabilities.


Responders answer the call every day. Donated equipment helps provide the tools and resources they need to continue serving their communities.
