Protecting our Community
Helping those who help us
A small contribution can make a life-saving difference
This fund supports emergency responders, police officers, and vital services after Hurricane Helene, helping to equip personnel, restore critical infrastructure, and improve disaster response for the future
Taking action
- We funded the repairs of two fire apparatuses and returned them to service.
- We donated $10,000 of proceeds from the sale of our book, Through Our Eyes, to the Hot Springs Volunteer Fire Department to assist in equipping their members with much needed supplies.
- We are communicating with emergency service officials to assess their needs to better prepare for future events.
Helping those who help us
Why your support matters
For first responders and police officers, their work is more than just a duty—it’s a commitment to protecting and serving their community, especially in times of crisis. When disaster strikes, these individuals are often the first on the scene, risking their own safety to help others. But the storm’s aftermath doesn’t spare them from hardship. Many volunteer firefighters and officers face personal losses and overwhelming challenges while still answering the call to serve.
Our funding helps ease this burden, providing the resources they need to recover and continue their vital work, ensuring they can focus on rebuilding their community without carrying the weight of their own struggles alone.Â
Making a real difference
A community effort
Our efforts wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of donors and volunteers who believe in rebuilding Hot Springs together. Whether through financial contributions, materials, or hands-on labor, our community has stepped up to ensure that no one is left behind in the recovery process.
If you’d like to support our mission, consider making a donation or volunteering with RHSA. Every dollar brings us one step closer to rebuilding our town—stronger and more resilient than before.
