The Friends of 1st Responders Society is an opportunity for families to help our first responders By becoming one of the 100 founding families of The Forge.

​

Society Members are asked to make a minimum contribution of $1,000.

​

The Friends of 1st Responders Society members do more than support THE FORGE financially, they are involved in a variety of volunteer opportunities: providing meals for our heroes, planting and landscaping, and special community projects. There are signature events held each year for Friends of 1st Responders Society members.

​

THE FORGE is a respite for first responders and military personnel seeking to shape a new personal path forward.

Our Mission is to support all active and retired First Responders, Military Personnel and their families who are experiencing, or have experienced, any traumatic or life-altering event. The Forge is a collaborative group of fellow heroes who promote personal growth and healing through conversation, team building activities, workshops and above all else, camaraderie.

We do not provide counseling services.​

​

The Forge is a non-profit organization and is proud to provide its programs, outings and events at no cost to first responders, military personnel and their families.

​

At The Forge, those who have dedicated their lives to helping others will now find a community striving to help them in return.

​

Please join us in supporting our heroes.
