Supporting those
who serve. Strengthening our community.
The Simpsonville Police & Fire Foundation is a local nonprofit run by a volunteer board. We stand behind the officers and firefighters who keep this city safe, and we bring the rest of the city along with us.
Two departments. One city.
Simpsonville's police officers and firefighters answer the call at every hour, in every season. The Foundation exists to give something back to them, and to the families who wait at home.
We are a board of local business and community volunteers. We raise money, host events that bring neighbors and first responders together, and keep the work simple and accountable.
This site is new. More detail on how funds are used will be posted here as the Foundation's first events wrap up.
