Our mission
HEROES-Honoring Emergency Responders Of Every Service, is a community based volunteer organization dedicated to providing assistance to emergency responders and/or military personnel and their families in the event of a catastrophic occurrence. HEROES will promote and enhance the education, awareness and support for our public safety and military personnel.
Our history
In 2013 Gloria and Keven decided that an organization was needed to support our local first responders and military, and for that board to be 100% community based. HEROES has been involved in many ways since it's inception. From helping with funeral services for a fallen police officer to hosting the Coming Home - Going Away Celebration for our local armed forces enlistees.
HEROES has been involved in our many things over the years and looks forward to continuing to make a difference in our local communities.
