2025: A Year in Review

In 2025, your support showed up when it mattered most—in the aftermath of emergencies, during recovery, and through prevention partnerships.

Together, we made a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals, families and communities across our region.

Here’s a snapshot of what you helped make possible.

Lives Touched

When help was needed most:

  • 632 families received critical assistance
  • 798 survivors found support through Thrive programs
  • 45,539 children learned lifesaving skills through Milo & Moxie: Smart Safety Rangers™

Service Highlights

Prevention, response, and recovery—working together:

  • 13 partnerships with local fire departments & the American Red Cross to deliver prevention programs
  • 1,721 standard & specialized smoke alarms installed to keep homes safe
  • 792 dedicated volunteers lending their time and talents
  • 1,358 essential resources provided, including gas cards, meal vouchers, financial assistance and burn care garments

Why It Matters

Behind every number is a moment – a family returning home to safety, a child learning how to prevent harm, or a survivor finding the strength and support to heal.

Looking Ahead

With this momentum—and supporters like you—we’re ready to do even more in 2026. Together, we’ll continue expanding prevention efforts, strengthening recovery programs, and showing up for those who need us most.

Thank you for being an essential part of our mission.
