Our Mission
Our organization serves the community through the volunteer work of local Boise Firefighters, their families, and community partners like you. The purpose of the Boise Fire Fighters Local 149 Community Assistance Fund is to support and assist the members of the community in the response district of the Boise Fire Department. The fund is dedicated to the support and education of any member of the greater Boise community who is underprivileged, the victim of sickness and/or tragedy, disabled, homeless or in need. The Local 149 Community Assistance Fund is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
Our Programs

This is by far the most impactful way we support our community. When we work in the community responding to 911 calls, first responders can refer individuals or families to the Community Assistance Fund. The CAF supports families with transportation, nutrition, health care, accessibility, and other basic necessities that improve their quality of life.
