Community Needs
We believe our mission will help to address critical needs in our community like emergency readiness, school-aged engagement, graduation rates, labor force participation, and the health of older adults. In facilitating access to top training programs and quality supplies at no or low cost, it is our goal to make safety awareness, life-saving skills, and emergency readiness ubiquitous in our community, thus making it safer and prone to ever-improving health outcomes…
