About Us

Our mission is “To help create a safer community.” The Foundation was formed in 1998 to provide funds to help people in need within the community.

The Foundation consists of the following emergency service agencies – Clackamas Fire District #1, Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, Estacada Fire District #69, Milwaukie Police and Oregon City Police. For those who have experienced a fire, accident or other tragedy, Foundation funds can provide a warm hotel room in the middle of the night, a change of clothes, or necessary toiletries and food until other social services agencies can step in. Our Foundation is active in making the community a safer place for our citizens. Funds raised will help support food programs, purchase life jackets, smoke alarms, bicycle helmets for kids, place automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in the community (over 400 have been placed to date) and other needs. Annual giving has provided funds for the Children’s Center, Feeding the Hungry, Inc. and Operation Santa Claus.

We are asking for your support so we can also enable the firefighters and law enforcement officers in our community to continue to provide help to those who need our assistance.
