 Disaster
Assistance Program
The Surrey Firefighters Charitable Society operates
a Disaster Assistance Program to aid members of our
community that have suffered a substantial personal
loss due to a catastrophic episode.
The program combines resources from the Surrey Fire
Fighters Charitable Society, Red Cross, Food Bank,
and the Surrey Fire Fighters and Surrey Hospice Community
Thrift Store. Fire fighter Jon Caviglia admits the
program won’t replace everything that is lost
as a result of the tragedy but it does give people
a new start and it provides emotional support immediately
after an incident when it is needed most. The program
includes emergency housing, meal money for three days,
free shopping at the Fire Fighters thrift store and
emergency funds to help replace some of the essentials.
Surrey Fire Fighter President Larry Thomas insists
the program is a success and refers to a number of
examples when people that have been helped out return
at a later date to thank the firefighters and to make
a donation back to the Surrey Fire Fighters Charity.
If you would like to support Surrey’s own disaster
relief fund contact the Surrey Fire Fighters.
