Get Involved
You don't have to be a first responder to make a difference for their families. There's a place for you in this mission — whatever your time, talent, or resources.
Ways to Stand With Us
Every act of support — big or small — strengthens the families behind our heroes.
Volunteer
Show up for first responder families in a hands-on way. Volunteers help with events, outreach, and more. No experience required — just a willing heart.
Partner With Us
Businesses, churches, civic organizations, and community groups can partner with Hearts Behind Heroes to amplify our reach and deepen our impact across Polk County.
Spread the Word
One of our biggest needs right now is visibility. Share our mission on social media, tell your neighbors, and help us reach the families who need us most.
Attend Events
Join us at community gatherings, fundraisers, and awareness events. Your presence matters — and it sends a message to first responder families that their community cares.

Community Partnerships
We believe the strongest communities are built through collaboration. If your organization — a business, church, civic group, or school — shares our heart for first responder families, we'd love to explore how we can work together.
Partnership opportunities include co-hosting events, sponsoring programs, providing in-kind donations, and amplifying our mission to your network. Every partnership directly strengthens the families we serve.
