The First Responder Support Team (FRST) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals who serve their communities in critical roles. FRST focuses on providing assistance to local law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, military, veterans, and linemen. By addressing the unique challenges faced by these professionals, the organization aims to improve their well-being and ensure they have access to the resources they need.

FRST's mission underscores the importance of caring for those who dedicate their lives to public service and safety. Through various initiatives and programs, the organization works to create a supportive environment for first responders and veterans, recognizing their sacrifices and contributions to society.

FRST provides licensed mental health services that our outside of normal reporting chains.  This allows a confidential and free option to our first responders seeking specialized care without career impacts.

FRST provides financial crisis support.  Think of a first responder you know, now think of their side hustle to make ends meet.  Our first responders aren't paid enough and when life happens, we provide a micro-grant to get them back on their feet.

FRST maintains a trusted network of referral agencies that are action oriented.  We all know there are a ton of programs out there, but when a first responder takes that brave and sometimes rare step to ask for help, we can't afford to throw them into a confusing maze of paperwork and policy.  We aren't the best at ALL things - so we partner with experts that do what they say they will do. 

Mission

At FRST, our vision is to create a community where caring for our first responders is simple, transparent and timely.
