A $5,000 grant. A stronger emergency response system. A safer community.
Because of donor support, the Hazard Fire Department is upgrading critical communications infrastructure used during fires, accidents, natural disasters, and other emergencies. The grant will help replace aging communications equipment, strengthening communication between first responders when every second counts.
This is the power of local philanthropy. When you give to the ARH Foundation, you're helping fund projects that strengthen the communities we all call home. Through our Community Grant Program, donor generosity supports initiatives that improve health, safety, and quality of life across Appalachia.
