Surprise Firefighters Charities
We are Surprise Fire-Medical. Off shift, we run the toy drives, the food drives and the boot drives that keep our neighbors on their feet — and every dollar raised here stays here.

Our mission
Giving back to the community
We have a simple but robust mission: to support our community through donations, educational efforts and volunteerism. What starts as a shift at the station turns into toys under a tree, a Thanksgiving table, a family that makes rent.
If you have able hands, we want your help. Reach out and tell us which event you would like to be part of — there is room on every one of them.

Give locally
Every dollar stays in Surprise
No offices, no overhead, no salaries. Your donation buys the toys, the turkeys and the school supplies that our crews hand over in person.
