Smoke Alarm Program

The goal of the Smoke Alarm Program is to provide every household with a working smoke alarm. Studies show that having a working smoke alarm increases your chances of surviving a house fire by 50%.

The Bicycle Helmet Program gives free bicycle helmets to children whose families cannot afford them. This program is funded entirely by donations from local citizen organizations.
