Pasco firefighters giving back

The charity is made up of union members from Pasco Fire Local 1433. Our members serve the 84,000-plus citizens of Pasco and neighboring districts. We use our charity to give back to the citizens of Pasco, especially focusing on children and families with deep need.

What we do

Winter Family Sponsorships

During the winter, the Pasco School District selects families in need for us to bless with clothing, diapers, mattresses, toys, food, and more.

Fire Recovery Help

We have been blessed to do the same for families in Pasco displaced by house fires.

Charity Cards on Our Rigs

We stock charity cards on our fire apparatus that firefighters can use at their discretion to help families in need in the moment, at any time day or night, as they see them at emergency incidents.
