Community Outreach

This program promotes awareness, improves relationships and builds partnerships between citizens, the Woodstock Police Department and Fire Department, via educational initiatives such as the Citizen’s Public Safety Academy, community safety events and public safety seminars.

Emergency Aid

Aid and support are provided to Woodstock public safety personnel (police, fire and emergency medical service) and their families in times of need. On occasion, this program may provide nominal assistance to first responders in other jurisdictions within the state of Georgia.

Equipment, Training and Support

Funds for the acquisition of supplemental equipment and training are provided to the Woodstock police and fire departments. Funds also may be utilized to provide immediate assistance during critical or emergency public safety situations.

Shop With a Hero

This annual program, in partnership with the Woodstock police and fire departments, provides aid to local families by purchasing gifts for children in need during the holiday season. Last December, foundation members, police officers and firefighters shopped with 133 children, and were able to purchase more than $13,000 in gifts.
