National First Responders Day

Celebrating our First Responders!

SERVPRO does all kinds of disaster response from residential home fires to catastrophic storms which can devastate communities. In the process of doing that work we end up following behind first responders all the time and we see firsthand the incredible work they do for communities across America. That’s why we work to raise money, awareness, and gratitude for our first responders because their sacrifice makes America what it is.

National First Responders Day

Last year we heard about National First Responders Day which is on October 28^th and we thought it would be great if we put together an event where the community could show our gratitude to first responders from around the Wichita area. So that is what we did! With the help of 26 other businesses we were able to raise money, resources and put together over 200+ hot lunches for first responders around Wichita.

We set-up a drive thru where Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, EMS and others could come by and get a free hot meal prepared by our volunteers. Many stayed for a while and shared experiences they have had while working. Here is a link to our Facebook live stream of last years event where you can watch all the great time we had.

This Years Event

This will be our second year doing this event. We have gathered many more business partners than last year and are looking to serve some awesome homemade BBQ to any first responders who want a delicious meal. This year October 28^th falls on Saturday and we will be setting up our drive thru in the Central Christian Church parking lot at 2900 N Rock Rd. from 11:00AM to 2:00 PM.
