How does your donation support a First Responder?
When you give to First Responders' Bridge, you are directly impacting the life of a first responder and their families, and helping them find hope and healing. We believe that if a first responder is ready to ask for help, money should not be a barrier that prevents them from taking that first step. Your donation goes toward the the expenses incurred by First Responders' Bridge to provide our retreats at no cost. View the agenda of our next retreat to see exactly what your gift will be used for.
