Recently, Strength & Shield, Inc. was honored & grateful to support a request from the Arizona Department of Public Safety in Tucson to assist them, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP Grand Canyon State Lodge 32) & the Arizona State Troopers Association for the fundraising event efforts in support & honor of DPS EMT/Trooper Hunter Bennett & DPS Pilot Robert Sk***ey, with 100% of event proceeds going to their families. We were honored to provide an entire table of raffle baskets with some amazing items from our friends at the University of Arizona Office of Public Safety (UAPD). These included amazing contributions from the University of Arizona Athletics of both a men's team autographed football and basketball! Additionally, Strength & Shield was happy to provide and serve the event desserts, with 500 cupcakes donated by The Lazy Dazy Baker, Inc.
We'd also like to send a shout out of thanks to our friends at Planet Subs (Planet Sub-Tucson) for helping us (they always do!) with meals for the volunteers & those from the DPS dispatch/communications dept that were on duty.
We'd like to say an extra word of care & prayers out to the lovely Bennett family who was in attendance. Our hearts go out to them, and we wish them comfort during this extremely difficult time.

Merry Christmas from Strength & Shield!!! 🎄🚓🚒

12/23/2025

Today, Strength & Shield, Inc. was able to help provide some fun & joy to a very deserving family who had some terrible loss this year, and that we were more than honored to be able to fulfill their Christmas wishlist.

This holiday, as part of our Bless the Blue, and our Shield & Shelter programs for first responder families, we were able to include having 2 major recipient families, 11 gift families, and helped provide support to 30 children for Christmas!

We're beyond words on the heartbreaking circumstances some of these amazing families have gone through this year, but it makes our hearts glad & grateful to have brought some significant support & care this week! Special prayers for our 2 major recipient families for continued healing, peace, love & contentment in the new year!

Yesterday, Strength & Shield, Inc. was happy to hold our quarterly free private social for First Responder Wives for Christmas, the Holidays & New Year approaching. What a beautiful & joyous time to decompress! We provide these quarterly socials as a100% free & private outlet for the first responder families to de-stress, build positive morale & comradery, and provide unique resources relevant to the experiences of the first responder families that are the backbone at home.

Great to work with the beautiful venue at Old Pueblo Cellars, many thanks to our wonderful partners from Bishop's Mission, who provided some amazing K9 assistance dog visits, the Rhythm Jax Band who were so friendly & did a great job on the fun live music entertainment, The Lazy Dazy Baker, Inc. for the delicious desserts and appetizers, Dominick's Real Italian for being so great to work with for the hot food, Teal Path Counseling/Kelli Jean (Kelli Trueba) for the meaningful presentation, and Ms. Sara for helping as one of our wonderful co-chairs!

Last week, Strength & Shield received a request for support for a police family in need of household items. As part of our Shield & Shelter Program, we were able to fulfill & provide their entire wishlist of needed items!

We're so grateful to be able to help fellow first responder families during their times of need, and it's so well deserved, and appreciated by those who are consistently serving others but rarely ask for any help themselves!

Many thanks to one of our amazing program sponsors, Wyyerd Fiber, for their annual support of these efforts! We have many more wonderful support stories this month that we'll be sharing with you through the rest of December!
