Shop With A Hero History:

In 2022, we started a new campaign partnering with Mills Fleet Farm of Stevens Point, Portage County Health & Human Services and the Stevens Point Fire Department Management Staff to help families in need during the Christmas season. Portage County Health & Human Services assist in choosing two to three families in need. There names are forward to our Charities as we coordinate with Fleet Farm on a date to go shopping with the children. We have a wish list of items (needs & wants) for each child and their siblings. Each child is partnered with 2 or 3 Fire Fighters to go shopping for Christmas presents for their siblings and for themselves. After all the shopping is complete, we proceed to purchase needed necessity items (socks, hygiene items, etc.).

The gifts are brought back to the station, where help Santa wrap the gifts with the help of Off & On Duty personal, Management Staff and the Explorers Post. We then assist Santa with delivering the gifts a few days before Christmas.

This program continues to grow as we expand the program to include more Portage County families. It’s always a fun time, seeing the children’s faces light up as they shop and it’s another way we can give back to our community!

We are proud in what we’ve accomplished so far, providing over $3,400 in Christmas gifts for families!

Each year the Stevens Point Fire Fighters Charitable Foundation, Inc. sets out to raise funds to provide a happier Christmas to families in need.

We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and our partners within the communities.
