Responders Resource Center

By Shelley L. Servellon

Freedom Community Church’s mission partner, also a 501(c)(3), has been doing wonderful things this year. A team of trained Chaplains and Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) responders provides warm food and counseling to local area Search and Rescue teams.

The Refuge Point food trailer has been asked to provide meals for law enforcement training as well. This summer, during the fire season, our small team provided meals to over two hundred firefighters in one day. Volunteers entirely provide this emerging source of care.

Meals are purchased with proceeds from the Chaplain/CISM training classes and donations. Responders Resource Center (RRC) has trained hundreds of chaplains,law enforcement personnel,fire department personnel, and hospital and church workers all over Oregon and Washington this year alone.

The needs are growing faster than the funds are coming in. If you would like to be a part of what we do, consider donating to RRC by visiting our website at https://responderscenter.com/.

I am on the board for both entities. I also teach five of the chaplaincy classes.

In keeping with the Christmas spirit, Freedom raised money to buy gifts for every child in the village. This is its second year that it has presented the children with gift wrapped presents.

Wishing You a Merry and Blessed Christmas

and a Healthy and Peaceful 2023!
