Get Involved
Join an event, meet good people, and help Arkansas first responders find peer support.
Ways To Get Involoved
There are several meaningful ways to support Arkansas first responders and their families. You can help in the way that fits your season of life, and you can mix and match as your schedule allows. Every action strengthens the community around the table and keeps this work moving.
Volunteer
Show up for climbs and gatherings, help with setup, check-in, or outreach, and build community and peer support.
Donate
Fuel local events and outreach with a one-time or monthly gift.
Rep Merch
Wear the logo to spark conversations; proceeds support community programs.
Events
Join climbs, community nights, and seasonal meetups to connect and bring a friend.
Activites
We build community in many ways. Join us for an annual stair climb, a monthly gathering, or a seasonal meetup.
Annual Stair Climbs
Each year we climb in honor of the first responders of 9/11. This year we visited four locations across Arkansas, and we will post dates, routes, and sign ups on Facebook as they are set.
Gatherings
Monthly meetups at The Local Tavern keep the table open all year. Expect good food, easy conversation, and new connections; check Facebook for the next date and time.
Family Days
Families of first responders are part of the healing process too. These gatherings create space to check in, share a meal, and reconnect across shifts and seasons so kids and spouses feel included and supported. Follow Facebook for dates and details.
