THANK A FIRST RESPONDER
A kind word
goes a long way
In times of crisis, our first responders are the heroes who step up to protect our communities. They work tirelessly to ensure our safety, often putting their lives on the line. Now, it's our turn to show them our gratitude and support.
Below, you’ll find a list of participating businesses extending their gratitude through special offerings and thank-you notes.
Join us in making a difference—your support not only uplifts our heroes but also strengthens our community bonds.

The images used in this campaign were initially captured as part of a fundraising project for the Butte Humane Society and have since been repurposed to further celebrate and spotlight the relentless efforts of our local heroes within the community.
This photo shoot remains one of my most treasured experiences, allowing me to collaborate with two crucial organizations committed to the safety and well-being of our community. Working alongside the courageous members of Butte Fire and the empathetic staff at Butte Humane Society was not only profoundly inspiring but also deeply enlightening. Witnessing their skill, dedication, and compassion firsthand has given me a greater appreciation for those who tirelessly protect our homes, businesses, pets, and wildlife.
