Firefighters Deliver Gifts to Hennepin Healthcare Burn Center Patients
Friday, December 23, 2022 at 10:28AM
For the 11th year in a row, Firefighters for Healing volunteers helped spread holiday cheer by shopping for burn survivor patients, wrapping those gifts with love and delivering those gifts via fire truck to the Hennepin Healthcare Burn Unit Center
Scheels in Eden Prairie provided a $5,000 gift card and personal shoppers to help F4H volunteers fulfill wish lists. Volunteers helped wrap and organize the wrapped gifts at the Transitional Healing Center, and the Minneapolis Fire Department helped move gifts to Hennepin Healthcare.
“Helping families through the multiple stages of grief and healing is what Firefighters For Healing aims to do through emergency housing, our camp program and resources. Each year as this gifting event has grown and impacted more families and new frontline staff, they repeatedly tell us that this simple act of kindness means the world to them."
Jake LaFerriere, Founder of Firefighters for Healing and former Minneapolis firefighter
From shopping to wrapping and organizing...
...to transporting...
...and finally delivering to the recipients!
THANK YOU to Firefighters for Healing for your compassion and tireless work in easing the pain of burn survivors!
