First Responder Support
The Jack Gargalino Memorial Foundation, is committed to standing behind those who stand for us. Our First Responder Assistance program provides direct financial support to first responders—military, police officers, firefighters, and EMTs—who are facing unexpected hardship due to injury, illness, or other life-altering events.
​
Whether it’s covering essential bills, helping with medical expenses, or providing temporary relief during recovery, our goal is simple: to lift the burden so these heroes can focus on healing.
