When disaster strikes – whether a flood, fire, or other unexpected event – everything can change in minutes, leaving families to navigate uncertainty in real time. Having the right tools makes all the difference, helping people stay informed, connected, and able to access critical information when it matters most.
For $60, you can place an Emergency Care Kit into the hands of a neighbor, helping them feel prepared and supported for what comes next.
Each kit includes life-saving essentials:
- All-in-one hand-crank radio, flashlight, and phone charging bank
- A whistle to signal for help
- A fire and waterproof pouch to protect important documents
- A water filtration device for safe drinking water
- A manual can opener
- An N95 mask
- A durable bag to keep it all together
This is about more than a bag of supplies. Your contribution allows FWRD to provide disaster training so families know what to do during emergencies and how to use every item in the kit. Preparedness is stronger when we build it together.
Help your neighbors feel prepared.
