Our First Responder recipients

Helping our heroes

Our First Responder recipients

Since our inception in 2012, First Responders have been a bedrock part of the Chive Charities recipient family. With over $2 million in support awarded to over 60+ first responders and their families, the commitment to our nation’s heroes remains steadfast. Whether it’s purchasing a service dog for a former firefighter or completing an accessible home renovation for a retired law enforcement officer, we specialize in providing items that improve quality of life for first responders.

"Chive Charities has had a profound positive impact on my life. After working as a police officer for 22 years, there were not many instances of appreciation from the community. But when you do get them, it means the world. The Chive has helped me first off by just recognizing me."

– Mark M, First responder recipient

"It has been incredible to hear about Chive Charities and their desire to help. Receiving a grant/donation from donors has helped me stay as independent as I can without financial pressure on myself or family."

– Mandy S, First responder recipient

"Ground Zero’s founders, staff, volunteers, and board of directors are awed by the generosity of Chive Charities. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the donors who made this grant possible."

– Ground Zero, 501c3 recipient
